After being assigned a task by Lu Ping to go to Xiaoshi Town to clean up the tree hole foxes, Lu Zhiwei hesitated after hearing this and did not reply.
In the past few years, she has been accustomed to living in seclusion and seldom leaves the sect. She has a tendency to fear society and does not want to go out to slay demons.
Lu Ping's next words made her unable to refuse.
"This expedition mission is particularly important to the development of the sect. If you handle this task well, it will not only bring unexpected benefits to you, but also give back to the sect."
"Be well prepared. The departure time is up to you. Try to eradicate the group of demon foxes by the end of the month."
"Don't refuse when your father asks you to do something."
It was now the beginning of the month, and there were still more than ten days before the end of the month. It was considered a good time, enough for Lu Zhiwei to prepare, and it would not affect the sect's affairs.
In fact, Lu Ping has also been worried that for a long time, some immortal cultivators will discover the group of tree hole foxes, and the group of demon foxes may be eliminated before Lu Zhiwei can take action.
Therefore, the time should be shortened as much as possible.
Having said that, what else could Lu Zhiwei say? She gave up the hesitation in her heart and refused.
"Okay, I will handle the matter of the demon fox."
Lu Yuanshan listened quietly and had no objection to Lu Ping's arrangement.
With Lu Zhiwei's strength at the ninth level of Qi training, even though he may have been rusty in combat over the years and unable to display his full strength, he can still clean up these tree hole foxes without much effort.
Her father sent her there specially, perhaps because he wanted her to go out and relax. This was a well-intentioned move.
There is no way his father would harm Zhiwei.
Arranged for Lu Zhiwei to eliminate the demon, and seeing the other party's agreement, Lu Ping remembered the Zhaoyun Sword, and immediately asked Lu Yuanshan: "Yuanshan, is Zhiwei's Zhaoyun Sword still in your hand?"
"Here I am."
Lu Yuanshan took out the Zhaoyun Sword. Although he didn't know how Lu Ping learned about it, he didn't mention it, but he didn't ask.
Now that his father has woken up, as the ancestor of Jindan, he must have the means to know about this matter, and it is not surprising that he even witnessed the conference.
"Give it back to her. This time when we go out to slay demons, we should have a handy weapon."
"Father, just use the Zhaoyun Sword and sell it to support the sect. It doesn't matter if the Zhaoyun Sword is not enough to eliminate demons this time."
When it came to Zhaoyun Sword, Lu Zhiwei immediately declined.
"I'll give it to you when I say it."
Lu Ping's tone deepened: "This is a coming-of-age gift given to you by your father. As long as your father wants you to keep it, you have to keep it well. It doesn't matter if you sell it."
Feeling the seriousness in Lu Ping's tone, Lu Zhiwei did not dare to disobey, and finally obeyed Lu Ping's order and took back the Zhaoyun Sword.
After telling Lu Zhiwei to be careful when going out, Lu Ping didn't say much and asked the two to leave.
The two brothers and sister left together.
On the way out of the forbidden area, Lu Zhiwei said nothing, but Lu Yuanshan was in a good mood and took the initiative to arrange the expedition for Lu Zhiwei and find manpower.
"Little sister, although the current strength of the sect is not as good as before, and the number of disciples is also small, the disciples above the third level of Qi training still account for half, and they can help you complete the tasks assigned by your father."
"I think Minghui, Zhang Nianchuan and other disciples are quite capable, and they need to go out for some training. Why don't you let them follow you?"
"You haven't traveled far for a long time, so you can bring some help to take care of you."
Minghui refers to Senior Sister Song Minghui. Her strength is at the fifth level of Qi training. She is easy to get along with and knows how to take care of her fellow disciples.
Zhang Nianchuan is Lu Zhiwei's disciple, loyal to the sect and able to obey arrangements.
However, because Lu Zhiwei has lacked Taoism in recent years and often stays at home and no longer cares about cultivation, she rarely comes forward to guide Zhang Nianchuan in cultivation.
But Zhang Nianchuan still respected Lu Zhiwei very much and always regarded her as his teacher. He also understood why Lu Zhiwei was like this, so he had no intention of complaining.
In addition to these two people, Lu Yuanshan also recommended a few people to gain experience and see the world.
"Well, I can do either."
Lu Zhiwei nodded slightly and agreed with Lu Yuanshan's suggestion.
In fact, she didn't care who she took. If possible, it would be best to go alone.
But when she thought about not going out for so many years, she could not help but worry that she would get confused on the route and delay the time to eliminate the demon. She would listen to her brother's words.
"That's it for the selection. I will help you make the arrangements."
"Thank you, brother."
"We are all one family, so why bother?"
"In addition, you also know that now that the sect is in financial distress, the original flying boats have been sold in sets, so as for the mounts..."
Lu Yuanshan smiled awkwardly: "The sect cannot provide mounts for the time being, so I can only wrong you."
"No problem."
Lu Zhiwei shook her head.
She was not so pretentious and insisted on taking a flying boat to Xiaoshi Town.
She can understand the shabby situation of the sect.
As the two of them went back to their respective places, Lu Yuanshan quickly started to make arrangements for Lu Zhiwei to lead the team to eliminate the demon. He ordered Song Minghui and Zhang Nianchuan to accompany them, and arranged for four more disciples.
As the leader, Lu Yuanshan has to deal with many things, and the Qingshan Sect is now in a state of disrepair.
Fortunately, the disciples could obey the arrangements, which made him worry less.
Time flies and the end of the month comes in a blink of an eye.
According to Lu Yuanshan's arrangement, Lu Zhiwei and six disciples gathered outside the sect's hall, with their destination directed at Xiaoshi Town.
A group of people set off today to clean up the group of tree hole foxes.
With Zhang Nianchuan, Song Minghui and other disciples accompanying her, Lu Zhiwei didn't have to worry about the route at all.
Lu Yuanshan had already told Song Minghui about the map route.
Qingshan Sect is more than two hundred miles away from Xiaoshi Town. Since the monks in the Qi training period are still young and unable to fly with swords, and there is no flying boat in the sect to ride on, Lu Zhiwei and his party can only use the light body technique to get on their way.
Even so, it takes about two days to reach Xiaoshi Town. If you take a short break on the way to recharge your batteries and restore your spiritual power, the time will be extended by about a day.
That is to say, just after Lu Zhiwei and others set off as a team, Lu Ping, who had just left the Qingshan Sect and was inside the sect, saw a map of the affairs outside the sect before his eyes.
The size of the map is the same as when the exploration area was selected. The only new thing that appears is a group of slowly moving character icons.
The icon is about the size of a thumb, showing Lu Zhiwei and others moving eastward along Qingshan Sect toward Xiaoshi Town.
Lu Ping clicked on the icon, and the icon expanded to show details.
It records the names of Lu Zhiwei, Song Minghui, Zhang Nianchuan and others, as well as the number of people who participated in the expedition.
This is very user-friendly. You can know their status and location in real time, and then wait for them to return in triumph.
A group of first-order tree hole foxes have a fixed nest and will not migrate in the short term.
Facing Lu Zhiwei and others, these little monsters were completely defeated. Lu Ping had nothing to worry about.
Qinglian Mountain to the east.
Lu Zhiwei and his party used the magic of lightness to run. After traveling for more than ten miles, they soon saw a wide and rushing river.
This large river is a tributary of Lingxi, the longest river in Lingxi Prefecture. It meanders down from the main stream of Lingxi to the southwest and merges into Qingli Sea.
