After a series of exchanges, the reputation points now stand at only 13.
These reputation points are barely enough to refresh the mall once, theyâre not nearly enough.
Once again facing the problem of insufficient reputation points.
Feeling quite vexed, wondering whether I should spend 5 reputation points to conduct a doorway affairs exploration to try and earn some reputation.
Just at that moment, the system suddenly pops up a dialog box in front of me.
[Xuu Yi, who went down the mountain for experience, has captured the flower thief Ying Biehe in Jiyang City, receiving unanimous praise from the citizens and government of Jiyang City]
[Cyan Mountain Sectâs reputation has increased, reputation points +40]
Seeing this notification, Lu Pingâs eyes immediately lit up.
The systemâs [Experience] feature was first used during the first few days after acquiring the system.
This feature can yield reputation point rewards.
Ever since dispatching Xuu Yi down the mountain for experience, Xuu Yi has indeed brought gains to the sect.
For example, eradicating the demon cultivators in Tide Sound Town and Guangde County, those two experience missions brought considerable gains to Lu Ping, with substantial reputation point profits.
This time, the system did not trigger another experience mission like âcapturing the flower thief,â instead directly showing the notification of Xuu Yiâs completion in catching the flower thief.
So this means that disciples dispatched down the mountain through [Experience] can completely enhance the Cyan Mountain Sectâs reputation by committing virtuous deeds and punishing evil, thus bringing reputation point earnings to the system.
As the Cyan Mountain Sectâs external reputation spreads, the reputation naturally boosts.
And so, seeing the system acquiring reputation points is not surprising.
However, according to this calculation, eradicating Wu Xiangwen and Liang Zhennan previously, earning the sect good fame for demon extermination and path protection, should also have earned reputation points.
Yet the result is devoid of any, not even a single point of reputation was obtained.
"Looks like the systemâs requirements for acquiring reputation points still need system operation, itâs not possible to bypass the systemâs mechanism to gain them."
Pondering for a while, Lu Ping concluded this judgment.
Not bothering to think much more, after all, acquiring reputation points through the system mechanism is itself not difficult.
After some thought, Lu Ping decided to teleport to Xuu Yiâs side to check what situation Xuu Yi is currently in.
With Xuu Yiâs surprising contribution of 40 reputation points, Lu Ping spent 5 reputation points on a teleportation without feeling the slightest remorse.
Performing a system operation, he spent 5 reputation points to trigger [Instant Teleportation], selected Xuu Yi as the target, then the scene before Lu Ping underwent a rapid change.
His perspective shifted, arriving at a dense mountain forest, beside him was a cyan-clad figure wielding a sword, moving forward slowly amidst the forestâit was Xuu Yi.
Where is this?
Wasnât it supposed to be in Jiyang City?
Seeing the scene completely different from what he imagined, Lu Ping immediately opened Xuu Yiâs personal information panel to check the location section.
[Location: Cyan Mountain Range]
This guy unexpectedly ran here to the Cyan Mountain Range.
The Cyan Mountain Range is already the largest primitive mountain range in the southern part of Chu Kingdom.
The entire mountain range stretches in an east-west direction, covering over ten thousand miles, lying across the southern border of Chu Kingdom, separating the coastal plains.
The origin of this mountain range, in terms of birth time, far surpasses Chu Kingdomâs 3,900-year founding history.
The Cyan Mountain Range is absolutely not an ordinary place, itâs inhabited by numerous poisonous insects, fierce beasts, swamps, and miasmas, far from being a place ordinary mortals can tread upon.
In the depths of the mountain range, in those unknown areas, even powerful Demon Beast tribes flourish, with strengths reaching at least the Crystallization level.
There are even Tier Four Demon Beasts, Golden Core Demon Kings, and some reaching Nascent Soul Level.
Wondering what this guy is doing here, demon beast slaying, for experience perhaps?
After some thought, Lu Ping didnât plan to initiate communication with Xuu Yi, silently followed beside him, proceeding along the mountain rangeâs outskirts.
As a consciousness body, though Lu Pingâs movement speed isnât fast, fortunately, Xuu Yi wasnât rushing but moving at a walking pace, allowing him to keep up.
Just like that, following Xuu Yi for over half an hour, Lu Ping roughly understood the purpose of this boyâs visit to this place.
"Roarâ"
A fierce tiger suddenly lunged out from the bushes, directly confronting Xuu Yi, viewing this unexpected guest as a delicious meal.
Witnessing the tigerâs pounce, Xuu Yi not only showed no intention to retreat but instead actively responded, wielding a Profound Gold Flying Sword to charge upwards.
This Profound Gold Flying Sword is one of the two magical artifacts Xuu Yi carries, named Gilded Flying Sword, with a tier reaching Tier One Middle Grade, slightly lesser than the Cyan Bamboo Sword.
Nonetheless, with his Peak Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer strength, dealing with this newly entered Qi Cultivation Stage, First-Layer Qi Cultivation strength tiger, itâs absolutely a crushing defeat.
As expected, merely blocking the tigerâs pounce, in a few moves, Xuu Yi slashed open the tigerâs throat.
Witnessing the entire process of Xuu Yi slaying the tiger, Lu Ping remained silent, guessing the boy probably really came to the Cyan Mountain Range for experience.
Such acts of demon beast slaying to hone oneself, during Qi Cultivation Stage, Lu Ping did many of these.
Within the territories of Chu Kingdom, in the mountain ranges where many demon beasts roam, Lu Pingâs presence had appeared.
Joining demon hunting squads, taking on various demon slaying missions, or acting solo, Lu Ping had done these.
However, itâs been a hundred years since Lu Ping last visited the Cyan Mountain Range, calculating the time, the place has changed greatly.
Now, itâs like a return visit to a familiar place.
As Xuu Yi processed the tigerâs body, pulling off valuable items like the pelt, Lu Ping browsed the area within a thousand yards, conducting a preliminary probe.
This area is still merely the outskirts of Cyan Mountain Range, inhabited by some low-tier demon beasts, like First-Layer Qi Cultivation tigers.
Among the demon beasts Lu Ping detected, there were four or five, with strengths all below Third-Layer Qi Cultivation, easily dealt with.
As for humans, currently, only Xuu Yi is here.
If Lu Ping counted as a human now, then there would be two.
When Xuu Yi finished with the tigerâs body, Lu Ping had no intention of leaving, continued following Xuu Yi forward.
Wandering outside without time constraints, itâs like taking a walk once outside.
Previously in life, time was dedicated to cultivation, leaving no time for walks.
In the subsequent journey, Xuu Yi made three moves, slaying two brown bears and a spotted wild boar, the process wasnât challenging, easily achieved.
Until reaching a riverside, encountering an attack by a Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation Black Armor Crocodile, the battle became somewhat tricky.
The Black Armor Crocodile is a giant crocodile with formidable defense, adept at hiding in river waters, launching sneak attacks on drinking beasts or cultivators.
This Black Armor Crocodile, reaching the size of a cow, suddenly launched an attack while Xuu Yi drank water, catching him off-guard.
Fortunately, life was unharmed, dodged narrowly.
Upon fully realizing the assault was from a giant crocodile, recalling the purpose of coming here for honing, how could Xuu Yi let it go?
If people donât provoke me, I wonât provoke them.
Itâs the same for demon beasts.
No discussion, action it is.
Although thinking this, after exchanging several blows, Xuu Yi gradually found the Black Armor Crocodileâs defense wasnât ordinary strong.
With each strike using the Gilded Flying Sword, it couldnât pierce the crocodileâs Black Armor defense, only leaving traces of faint marks as if tickling it.
Moreover, this wasnât the only Black Armor Crocodile here.
As the battle prolonged, two more Black Armor Crocodiles responded to the noise, coordinating with the companion to confront Xuu Yi.
These two Black Armor Crocodiles were similar in size, akin to tigers, slightly weaker in strength, respectively at Third-Layer and Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
But even so, the joint effort of these three Black Armor Crocodiles soon made Xuu Yi feel strained.
Xuu Yi has a rather stubborn personality, not having any notion of retreating, stubbornly confronting, viewing it as a rare experience.
After all, although challenging, if needed, escaping is achievable, not blindly seeking death.
Seeing Xuu Yi working so hard, with no intention of retreat, yet his battle approach was off, Lu Ping pondered a bit, deciding to offer some guidance, help him out.
Therefore, Lu Ping directly established a communication with Xuu Yi.
"Xuu Yi, the Black Armor Crocodileâs weak point is at the neck."
Just a simple statement, directly pointing out the Black Armor Crocodileâs weak spot, significantly aiding Xuu Yi.
Allowing him to avoid further blind attacks, preserving magical power.
Hearing Lu Pingâs voice echoing in his mind surprised Xuu Yi.
He promptly manipulated his flying sword to retreat two yards, becoming alert, eyes scanning the surroundings, asking softly under his breath.
"Who?"
