Chapter 182: Blessing Period! Leaving the Sect~! Looting the Treasury! (Part 1)

The Moon Embrace Sect was now thriving.

Especially with the new 'school uniform', the black gold moonlight color scheme exuded nobility and dominance wherever one looked.

Moreover, with a sweep of their gaze, their entire territory was within sight, and the feeling was indescribably liberating.

Perhaps the only drawback, in Lin Fan's opinion, was the lack of modernization.

For instance, integrating appliances would be a great improvement.

Installing lights everywhere, and even streetlights that automatically turn on at night, would elevate the sect's prestige.

Ideally, a fully automated task panel would be most convenient, making things easier for both disciples and elders alike.

Issuing commands would be so much more efficient.

If they could develop smartphones, then in the future... hey! Disciples wouldn't need to carry so many communication talismans when they ventured outside.

With just a phone in hand, they could contact anyone!

"It's just that the idea is beautiful, but reality is too harsh. While installing lights might not be difficult, if we wait a few more years, Wang Teng should be able to make it happen."

"However, for Wang Teng to create intelligent equipment, or even smartphones, is too much to ask."

"Speaking of which, I do have an idea."

"Since I can borrow from so many protagonist templates and analyze through big data, then... why not 'Divine Machinery'?"

"So..."

"We can work towards that direction."

"..."

...

Sect Expansion.

Divine Beast Stationed!

The ambitions of the Moon Embrace Sect disciples soared to unprecedented heights.

Their cultivation efforts intensified, and even the previously mundane tasks were now tackled with boundless enthusiasm.

After several days of quiet, Song Yunxiao began to consider exchanging for another dungeon. However, he still needed to cultivate for a while, as the rewards and resources from the secret realm were indeed important, but his own strength was equally crucial!

Then, it was Su Yan's turn.

He had been eagerly awaiting the end of his death beginner's period, and finally, the day had arrived.

"Damn!"

He leaped three zhang high, exclaiming, "I, Su Yan, have finally made it!"

"The blessing period has arrived, and I'm ready!"

"I heard from the group that from now on, for a month, I'll be the 'Heaven's Chosen Son' of this world, Providence's Bastard~!"

"Wherever I go, good fortune will follow, and countless benefits will come my way."

"Then..."

"I must go out and enjoy myself."

What benefits could he expect within the sect?

"Hmm, no, I need to freeload for a bit."

He immediately opened the Soul Chat Group and started typing: "Fellow Daoists, I have some news! I've survived the death beginner's period! Now I don't know what to do, so I seek your guidance, fellow Daoists?"

Si Wu Ya: "Congratulations, congratulations! It seems we'll have another permanent member in the group! As for suggestions, it's time to go out and enjoy yourself! Go out and have fun~!"

"Wherever there are benefits, that's where you should be, but don't stay in one place for too long!"

Song Ru: "Who the hell are you cursing? Didn't I not know before? Otherwise, how could I have missed out on benefits? As for suggestions, I also suggest you go out and enjoy yourself."

"But remember, everything in moderation, and never let joy turn to sorrow!"

Little Wizard: "I'm preparing a surprise for you, fellow Daoist, and my suggestion is the same!"

Me: "I'm almost there, just give me one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight months..."

Su Yan: "Ahem, thank you, fellow Daoists. I'll remember this, and I'm going to ask my master to let me go out and enjoy myself!"

"..."

...

After receiving the rewards, Su Yan was overjoyed, his eyes almost unable to stay open.

He immediately rushed to Lin Fan to 'ask for leave'.

Lin Fan didn't find it strange at all.

"Have you survived the death beginner's period?" Lin Fan asked.

"Thanks to the master and our Moon Embrace Sect's blessings," Su Yan beamed.

"In that case, it's time to go out and explore."

"Go ahead."

Lin Fan happily agreed.

Su Yan bid farewell to Lin Fan and flew out alone, without any companions.

As he flew, he hadn't even left the new boundaries of the Moon Embrace Sect when suddenly, his eyes were dazzled by a bright light.

"Eh?!"

"What is that?"

"Could there be a 'spy' infiltrating?"

"No, I have to go and take a look!"

He was quite brave.

During the death beginner's period, he had been timid as a mouse, carefully navigating the sect like walking on thin ice. But now, in his own territory and during the blessing period, it was only natural to explore boldly!

Alone, he carefully searched the area...

Flying back and forth in that region hundreds of times, he finally found the source of the reflection.

When he landed to take a closer look, he discovered it was within the mountain. Due to the previous modifications and last night's rain, a tiny 'crystal' was exposed.

The crystal, when hit by the sunlight, became the source of the reflection, which just so happened to catch his eye.

"What is this thing?"

"Moreover, it's so rich and dense."

"Could it be..."

Just as he was about to dig it out, he suddenly thought of his golden finger, and realized, no!

I need to freeload!

He immediately took a photo and sent it to the group, pretending to know nothing, and once again, a wave of rewards arrived.

Although it wasn't anything special, but even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

"Then I'll dig it out."

After receiving the rewards, Su Yan began to dig.

Then...

A minute later, staring at the crystal, now exposed to the air, and at least ten cubic meters in size, he fell into deep thought.

Half an hour later, looking at the small mountain of crystal before him, his mouth twitched.

"I've dug out..."

"What is this thing?"

"Is this what a Primordial Essence Stone vein looks like?"

Su Yan was stunned.

He suspected it was a Primordial Essence Stone vein, but seeing the size of it, almost as big as a mountain...

At this moment, he really didn't dare to confirm.

Just then, an inner sect disciple from the Liu family, who had been specially recommended, passed by.

On their school uniform, apart from the sect token, there was a small character on their uniform, the character 'Liu', a small gesture of respect towards the Liu family, their cooperative partner.

Of course, there were no special privileges.

It was just a way to prove their identity.

Su Yan's eyes lit up when he saw it. He didn't recognize it, but could he ask someone else?

A Liu Family disciple, from a large clan, was bound to be well-versed and experienced.

Coincidentally, the other party happened to pass by and also discovered this enormous crystal, feeling bewildered.

"Junior Sister, do you know what this is?"

Liu Xin Yue: "..."

"Senior Brother Su."

Although Su Yan joined the sect later, his status was high!

A direct disciple of the Sect Master, even though Liu Xin Yue had been in the sect for several years, still respectfully addressed him as Senior Brother.

This question from Su Yan, however, stumped her.

"This..."

"I'm not too sure either."

Liu Xin Yue circled the small mountain twice, touched it, and gently tapped it, her expression becoming very strange and uncertain: "This..."

"This doesn't seem right, does it?"

"What's not right about it?" Su Yan scratched his head: "Did Junior Sister recognize it?"

"From its shape, details, external manifestation, and the dissipation of Primordial Energy, it's undoubtedly a Primordial Stone."

"Isn't that what you think too?" Su Yan nodded.

So, he hadn't guessed wrong?

"But!"

Liu Xin Yue's uncertainty was evident: "Where in the world would there be such a large Primordial Stone?"

"At first, I thought it was a Primordial Stone vein, but then I realized that Primordial Stone veins don't grow this big!"

"So, even though I think it's a Primordial Stone, I can't be certain."

"I suggest..."

Upon hearing the suggestion, Su Yan's eyes lit up.

Brilliant!

Even triggering 'Listen to Advice'?

So, the Blessing Period was indeed a blast, right?

"I suggest you ask the Sect Master or the Elders to come and take a look. I really can't figure it out."

Liu Xin Yue spread her hands.

She was doing well now, after all, with her top-grade talent and early entry into the sect, along with her diligence, she was among the top Inner Sect Disciples. Contacting the Elders was no problem.

But since Su Yan discovered it, she was the one to make the contact. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like she was taking credit.

"Alright, I'll contact the Sect Master to take a look."

Su Yan nodded.

Our main focus is on listening to advice~

...

"???"

Upon receiving Su Yan's message, Lin Fan's forehead twitched: "What do you mean a Primordial Stone the size of a mountain?"

"How can there be such a large Primordial Stone?"

Huo Kun Lun was dumbfounded: "This... This is really a Primordial Stone???"

"Is there such a large Primordial Stone in the world?"

Lian Bo: "I've never heard of such a thing. Why don't we dig it out and take a look?"

Lin Fan: "Alright!"

"Let's dig it out!"

"This is truly bizarre. It's clearly a Primordial Stone, but one of this size..."

Even Long Aojiao was surprised, her red lips parting and closing as she finally licked her lips and said: "This girl has truly broadened her horizons today."

"However, this place originally seemed to be the territory of the Bright Water Pavilion."

"The Bright Water Pavilion has been cultivating this place for hundreds of years. They don't know, but how did you discover it, kid?"

She stared at Su Yan, feeling both surprised and uneasy.

Su Yan thought the Blessing Period was truly formidable.

But on the surface, he was clueless: "I have no idea. I just happened to pass by, and something caught my eye, so I came down to take a look. Who knew I'd find a Primordial Stone."

"I originally thought it was just a small, ordinary Primordial Stone, but then I realized I couldn't even lift it."

"So, I had to dig, and as I kept digging, this is what I found. I'm still dizzy from it!"

Long Aojiao: "..."

"There's even such a thing?!"

As they spoke, Lian Bo took action and had already dug out this Primordial Stone.

It was indeed a mountain!

Originally, it was at the foot of a Spirit Mountain belonging to the Bright Water Pavilion.

After being dug out, this Spirit Mountain was now half its original size.

Lian Bo carried the enormous Primordial Stone, grinning: "This..."

"It's definitely a Primordial Stone, that much can be confirmed."

"But such an astonishing Primordial Stone has truly broadened my horizons."

"Who would disagree?" Jin Zhen exclaimed that it was outrageous.

Ma Canlan calculated with his fingers: "A Primordial Stone this big, if broken down into regular Primordial Stone sizes, there might be millions or even tens of millions of them!"

"It's no less than a small Primordial Stone vein."

"It might even surpass it."

"Who would disagree?"

Everyone was truly astonished by such a large Primordial Stone; it was mind-blowing.

Lin Fan and Su Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with amazement.

Although they didn't find anything special upon further exploration, just this large... lump of Primordial Stone was already outrageous, wasn't it?

And they hadn't even left the sect yet!

Still inside their own sect, they had stumbled upon such a valuable item. What would they find outside?

Lin Fan waved his hand, directly transferring a hundred million Primordial Stones to Su Yan. As for the large lump, they would keep it for now.

Its specific use could be determined later.

Cut it up?

Unless absolutely necessary, it was best left intact.

"Anyway, our Moon Embrace Sect doesn't lack Primordial Stones. We can keep this as a rare item, or perhaps in the future, when the Moon Embrace Sect becomes truly powerful, we can even open a museum."

"Just the hype of the world's first Primordial Stone is enough to bring in some admission fees, isn't it?"

Lin Fan clicked his tongue in amazement.

...

Su Yan left the sect.

He didn't take the Primordial Stone, just kept it in mind~

And because this Blessing Period was truly outrageous, he even specially requested from the logistics department for a few extra Storage Talismans—how could he manage without them?

Then~

He was stunned!

Not long after leaving the sect, he walked and walked: "Damn, this is at least a hundred years' worth of top-grade Spirit Herbs, right?"

Flying and flying...

"Hey? Why is that big eagle wobbling?"

Is he dead?"

"Let's go take a look!"

"Huh... is that its nest?"

"Wow, such huge eggs!"

"Damn, it's dead? The eggs are still moving?"

"Huh? They're hatching?"

"....These little guys must think I'm their mother."

"No way, I'll ask the group chat what these things are."

A moment later...

"???"

"The strongest can grow up to the Seventh Stage, and its flying speed is even comparable to that of an Eighth Stage demonic beast. These Green Scaled Eagle chicks actually think I'm their mother, and they suggest I adopt them?"

"Alright, I'm the type who listens to advice."

Su Yan was stunned.

And he felt a surge of joy.

This feeling was truly... marvelous~

Moreover, he had picked up a 'treasure' and was also receiving the system's reward.

I was directly flying high~

After burying the Green Scaled Eagle's body, Su Yan couldn't help but hum a cheerful folk tune, his steps lively as he continued on his treasure-hunting journey, or rather, his journey of picking up treasures.

"So, this is the joy of being Heaven's Chosen Son, Providence's Bastard?"

"I really am..."

"I love it!"

"But I made a mistake! I should have asked Zhu Shixiong for a Beast Ring."

"..."

...

Bright Moon Sect, an unusually peaceful atmosphere.

No major events occurred.

Not even a few minor ones.

But the elders often gazed longingly in the direction where Lu Ming was located.

Unfortunately, Lu Ming had been in closed-door cultivation seeking a 'breakthrough', so they couldn't disturb him, and they could only look on longingly.

Until this day, Lu Ming 'broke through'~

Just a minor realm.

But it still caused a huge stir.

From the Sect Master to the various elders of Bright Moon Sect, everyone was inexplicably excited. They all rushed over to join the commotion, and even the Holy Son and Holy Daughter didn't come.

"Oh my, Elder Lu has broken through? This is truly a cause for celebration!"

"Look at what you're saying. Our Elder Lu has such talent, breaking through a minor realm is as simple as eating and drinking water, a natural process."

"Exactly. Do you think Elder Lu is like us, ordinary cultivators, who have to be cautious and careful when cultivating and breaking through? Elder Lu can eat high-quality herb pills like beans, so what's the big deal about breaking through?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I spoke out of turn~"

"But Elder Lu's breakthrough is still a cause for celebration!"

"Of course!"

"You're right, that's a reasonable statement." Sect Master Ji Hao Yue shook her head: "As the Sect Master, I've decided that since Elder Lu has broken through, our entire sect will celebrate for three days!"

"Let's drink!"

Lu Ming: "..."

Damn, these guys.

I just wanted to stall for time, I didn't mean to show off, and I didn't intend to make such a big deal out of it~

But they were so enthusiastic that I couldn't refuse.

What else could I do?

Just go along with it and eat and drink.

As for the high-quality herb pills the elders hinted at, Lu Ming pretended not to hear.

You invited me here, and I came.

But I'm here as the boss, not a laborer~

After all, I'm an undercover agent!

After eating and drinking their fill, seeing the expectant gazes of the elders, Lu Ming couldn't keep pretending he didn't understand anything, as it was too 'obvious'.

But, he already had a plan.

"Ahem."

"Everyone, please don't rush."

"The matter of pill refining has always been on my mind."

"However, this time in closed-door cultivation, I not only broke through a minor realm, but I also had a sudden realization in the way of pill refining. I thought of several new pill formulas, but they still need testing."

"But you all know that..."

"This kind of thing, once started, must be completed in one go, or else it will decline and eventually fail!"

Lu Ming sighed, "After all, if I don't quickly confirm these new pill formulas, I'm afraid... it will become a thousand times more difficult in the future."

"So, I want to verify these new pill formulas first. What do you all think?"

"Sect Master, Elders, please rest assured."

"Once these pill formulas are successfully verified, it will be greatly beneficial to all of us, and even to the entire Bright Moon Sect!"

Ji Hao Yue, Gu Qingyun, and the others were overjoyed upon hearing this.

Although they also felt a bit unhappy...

But no one could say these words out loud.

After all, he was a master of pill refining, and if he had developed new pill formulas and wanted to verify them, how could they not let him do so? It's not like that!

But...

After joining the sect for so long, he hadn't refined many pills, and now he was taking care of himself. Sigh.

They were helpless, but they couldn't show it, and instead, they had to put on bright smiles and express their 'generosity'.

Gu Qingyun: "Brother Lu, you're being too polite."

"We're all one family now. If you've had a realization and can continue advancing in the way of pill refining, we're all happy for you. How could we possibly stop you?"

"Exactly!" Ji Hao Yue shook her head: "Elder Lu, your realization in the way of pill refining will greatly benefit all of us. Who could possibly do such an ungrateful thing?"

The elders all expressed their agreement: "That's definitely not acceptable."

"Elder Lu, rest assured. Whoever dares to do so, I'll be the first to deal with them!"

"I'll be the second!"

"I'll be the third!"

"..."

"With all of your support, I'm relieved."

Lu Ming sighed: "But, I feel ashamed to say that after joining the sect for so long..."

"Never mind, never mind. Once I verify these pill formulas, I'll definitely refine pills diligently for a period of time."

Hearing these words, they were relieved.

"Elder Lu, what are you saying?"

"Can't we urge you to hurry?"

"You're busy, we're not in a rush, not in a rush."

Not in a rush?

They were probably all anxious inside.

But there was no other way, as their positions were different, and the years of hatred, with countless ancestors of the Moon Embrace Sect having died at their hands...

This hatred couldn't be washed away.

Otherwise...

I really wanted to let you off~

He sighed softly, "In that case, I'm relieved.

"However, we are still lacking in materials."

Ji Hao Yue waved his hand, "I've already said that all the spirit herbs in our sect, even if they are immortal herbs, Elder Lu, you can take them as you please.
