A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 128: Chapter 111: Spirit Seed Returns to the Mountain

In terms of liquid assets.

Not only the resources Lu Qian previously handed over to Jiang Qingfeng but also the stores on Bichao Mountain, as well as the spoils from the battle on Bichao Mountain, including storage pouches from three defeated Foundation Establishment cultivators and some Chaosheng Sect disciples.

However, these storage pouches belonging to the enemy were only collected from those killed by Yunshan Sect members; others slain by Zhou Family cultivators and the three-sect cultivators were naturally considered their spoils. Lu Qian had originally relied on their power and certainly could not claim them.

In summary, after gathering and counting everything, excluding unquantifiable odds and ends, the following materials are available.

First, Spiritual Artifact and Magical Artifact.

Acquired from Zhang Shouchang, a mid-tier attack spiritual artifact, the Spirit-Locking Ruler; a slightly damaged high-tier dual-use spiritual artifact, the Fixed Image Bell; a mid-tier attack spiritual artifact, the Snake Shadow Sword acquired from Wan An; and previously acquired from Li Zhenru, a mid-tier support spiritual artifact, the Peeping Truth Mirror.

High-tier attack artifacts: 47 pieces; mid-tier attack artifacts: 275 pieces; low-tier attack artifacts: 113 pieces.

High-tier defense artifacts: 10 pieces; mid-tier defense artifacts: 23 pieces; low-tier defense artifacts: 29 pieces.

Second, Talismans.

Foundation Establishment stage high-tier wood talismans: 9 stacks (10 sheets per stack), mid-tier wood talismans: 21 stacks, low-tier wood talismans: 9 stacks.

Qi Cultivation stage high-tier paper talismans: 430 stacks, mid-tier paper talismans: 2138 stacks, low-tier paper talismans: 1079 stacks.

Third, Elixirs.

Foundation Establishment stage high-tier elixirs: 7 bottles (10 pills per bottle), mid-tier elixirs: 13 bottles, low-tier elixirs: 5 bottles.

Qi Cultivation stage high-tier elixirs: 288 bottles, mid-tier elixirs: 1453 bottles, low-tier elixirs: 594 bottles.

Fourth, Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals.

In terms of cultivation techniques, there is one Yunshan Sect legacy capable of cultivating to the Golden Core, the Hidden Cloud Scripture, and one Chaosheng Sect technique, Profound Origin Bright Jade Skill. Additionally, there are 15 techniques capable of reaching Foundation Establishment and 37 Qi Cultivation stage techniques.

Regarding secret techniques, there are the Yunshan Sect’s secret technique, the Wind Shadow Cloud Body, and the Chaosheng Sect’s secret technique, True Words Jade Lock. Moreover, Qian Ruyi surprisingly contributed two types of secret techniques, Ice Mirror Illusion and Cold Ice Barrier, though unfortunately, without the corresponding talent, cultivating them is quite challenging.

In terms of arrays, there is the Outline of the Yin Yang Five Elements Grand Array, an initial exploration of the Qimen Five Elements Formation, a fragment of the Six Harmonies Array, the Wave Array Secret Manual, and Li Zhenru’s Array Insights.

Regarding magic techniques, there are 165 types of various attack, defense, and support magic techniques.

In terms of cultivation insights, there are 31 volumes of cultivation insights from successive Yunshan Sect Sect Leaders, elders, and others from Chaosheng Sect.

Fifth, life skills.

There is 1 artifact refining technique, 5 volumes of the Magical Artifact Atlas, 12 volumes of pill formulas (including 2 types of Foundation Establishment elixirs and 10 types of Qi Cultivation stage elixirs), 27 types of talisman samples (including 5 types of Foundation Establishment stage wood talismans and 22 types of Qi Cultivation stage paper talismans), and 53 methods for planting and cultivating spirit plants and spiritual medicines.

Sixth, Array Base and Array Map.

There is a Foundation Establishment level Mountain Protection Grand Array and a set of Seven Stars Moon Closing Formation, along with five accompanying pass tokens. The Five Elements Formation’s array base and array map obtained from Zhang Shouchang have currently been set up on Bichao Mountain, with five accompanying pass tokens.

Seventh, various miscellaneous items.

Including various spiritual medicines, spirit plants, raw materials for artifact refining and talisman making of varying ages that need further identification, temporarily valued at 30,000 spirit stones.

Eighth, Spirit Stones.

This time, 6 spirit crystals and thousands of spirit stones were collected. Adding those returned by Qingfeng, there are currently 12 spirit crystals and 4973 spirit stones in the treasury.

This is the inventory list. Behind the inventory list, there’s a detailed financial statement recording the various annual income and expenditure data of the former Chaosheng Sect, which is very clear and provides Lu Qian with a reference.

After reading it, Lu Qian felt like an abacus was clattering away in his mind.

Truly a bountiful startup fund! The purse of Yunshan Sect suddenly swelled!

Just like a family that has just managed to keep hunger at bay suddenly wins a million-dollar lottery, feeling somewhat dazed and unsure of how to arrange it.

Even with Lu Qian’s quick thinking, it took him a while to sort through all the resources.

But despite the abundance of resources, once the sect starts operating, it will rapidly begin to consume them.

Some are designated as regular provisions for disciples of various levels for cultivation, some should be included in the exchange list, some must be stored as strategic reserves, while some must be divided as promised as a token of appreciation to the three sects. Oh, and as a future subordinate sect, how much tribute must be offered to Xuanguang Sect...

These are expenditures, and with expenditures, there must be more income; otherwise, the resources will eventually run out.

At present, with the verified assets, Yunshan Sect’s income will include spiritual medicine and spirit plant cultivation, talisman making, elixir refining, artifact refining within the sect, and marketplace income, guild income, and marketplace tasks outside the sect. Oh, and also the future vassal annual tribute...

Lu Qian’s mind stirred, and he, without regard for the three present, held a jade scroll in one hand while writing down his ideas on paper with a pen in the other.

Jiang Qingfeng was already accustomed to Lu Qian’s working style and smiled as he sat quietly waiting. Lin Le and Baitao exchanged glances. Despite Baitao’s incessant eye signals wanting to go out and play, Lin Le showed a pitiful expression of ”I wouldn’t dare,” causing Baitao to roll her eyes dramatically.

After more than half an hour, Lu Qian finally set down his pen and let out a long breath.

He had finished laying out the major plans, but some details needed further supplementation. According to this plan, given the current situation, Yunshan Sect could generate a net profit surplus of approximately two to three thousand spirit stones annually, which is considerably less than the original Chaosheng Sect. This is mainly because the Yunshan disciples are few, with generally low cultivation levels, and unable to take on major responsibilities. However, in the future, as overall strength increases, this surplus will continually grow, eventually returning to normal.
