Let’s talk about reputation points first. Before the retreat, Lu Ping had 64 reputation points left.
After completing the two external affairs, plus the 12 points of rewards brought by the retreat, the reputation points now reached 643 points, which was still a huge increase.
In terms of reputation points, Lu Ping is quite satisfied and can make a wave of operations later to refresh the mall and support the sect.
Secondly, there is the second change.
The sect's reputation column has undergone subtle changes.
Lu Ping remembered clearly that the reputation of the sect before seclusion had always been "fame greatly reduced, good and evil unclear".
Now, it has become [fame restored, good and evil unclear].
From this point of view, perhaps the completion of the cleanup of the Sandstorm Beasts, coupled with the previous eradication of the demonic cultivators in Chaoyin Town and Guangde County, has made the Qingshan Sect gain a lot of favor in the hearts of the people in these three places.
This spread the Qingshan Sect's reputation and gained some prestige.
Lu Ping decided to pay more attention to the sect's reputation in the future and not ignore it.
As for the so-called good and evil that are not yet clear, this description means that Qingshan Sect has only eradicated four demonic cultivators and has not found any disciples doing evil in the world. The system cannot yet evaluate the good and evil sides of Qingshan Sect.
It is impossible to judge whether Qingshan Sect is a righteous sect or a demonic cult.
Of course, Lu Ping definitely doesn't want the Qingshan Sect to develop into an evil sect.
Then there are the sect resources, with the addition of Qingyu Bamboo, there is nothing to elaborate on here.
Finally, what interests Lu Ping the most is the sect's income.
Before the retreat, the sect's economy had been in a state of deficit.
The last time Lu Ping checked the sect's net income data, the net income was negative 450 per year.
Compared with the previous two years, even if this deficit figure has improved and has picked up a bit, it still cannot get rid of the deficit.
But now it seems that the changes are great.
Not only has the economic deficit been eliminated, the annual income is estimated at 2990 spiritual stones a year, and the net income can reach 2120 a year.
This calculation of annual income data does not include the income from three resources: the spiritual peach tree, the green-tailed spiritual fish, and the green jade bamboo.
Whether these three items will be sold in the future or produced for self-use depends on the sect’s wishes.
If it is not sold to the outside world, of course it will not be able to obtain income for the sect, and it will naturally not be included in the sect's economic income.
In terms of expenditure, the sect currently maintains 870 spiritual stones per year, which is more than 300 less spiritual stones than last year.
This item of expenditure does not include the expenditure on disciples' salary, because it has been temporarily suspended.
The spiritual stones spent by Qingshan Sect this year were used to maintain the operation of the sect, purchase elixir seeds, cultivate spiritual fields and medicine gardens, and even breed green-tailed spiritual fish and cultivate green jade bamboo.
These expenses are unavoidable.
That is because Lu Xuelian tried to breed blue-tailed spiritual fish last year. The sect invested more in this resource and spent more spiritual stones, so the expenses were naturally higher.
After more than a year of exploring breeding, Lu Xuelian gradually learned some breeding methods, and the amount of spiritual stones invested gradually decreased.
This is the main reason why the sect's expenditure has decreased.
As soon as the sect's expenditure decreased, the sect's saved spiritual stones reached 2,790 yuan.
Compared to how poor the Qingshan Sect was when they first woke up, the sect is much better off now.
The sect is getting better and better and will continue to grow in the future.
This time in retreat, reputation points were gained, and the sect's economy also achieved rapid growth.
Lu Ping was secretly happy.
After understanding the changes in the sect, Lu Ping spent some time and left the cave to visit Qinglian Mountain.
He went to take a look at the green jade bamboo that had been transplanted back.
I also went to take a look at the spiritual fields and medicinal gardens after the harvest.
After one trip, it took Lu Ping more than an hour to finish visiting Qinglian Mountain.
At the same time, he discovered that there were almost no people visible on Qinglian Mountain at this moment.
Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei disappeared without a trace, and all the disciples also disappeared without knowing where they went.
After this trip, Lu Ping only saw Lu Yuanshan, She Qingqing, Li Weixiao, and Li Weimiao.
There are also a few disciples whose names I cannot name.
Where have everyone gone?
It's really quiet.
Floating outside the cave, Lu Ping thought for a while and decided to summon Lu Yuanshan first to ask about the situation of the sect disciples and where they had gone.
After learning about the development of the sect by the way, we can refresh and redeem the mall to further support the development and growth of the sect.
With more than 600 reputation points in his hand, Lu Ping would feel sorry for this retreat if he didn't use them up.
"Yuanshan, my father is out of confinement."
"Come to Houshan Cave Mansion and meet me!"
As soon as the message came out, it sounded in Lu Yuanshan's mind.
The second generation head of Qingshan Sect was very happy when he heard his father's call.
He immediately ignored the matter at hand and flew towards the cave at the top of Qinglian Mountain using his wind control technique.
When he arrived outside the forbidden cave, Lu Yuanshan looked excited and immediately bowed to salute.
"Congratulations to my father for coming out of confinement!"
"Um."
Lu Ping nodded, chatted with Lu Yuanshan for a few words, and then began to ask about the sect's development this year.
Lu Yuanshan told everything he knew, one by one, and reported all the sect's situation to Lu Ping.
Let’s just say that the reason why the sect is very quiet now is because of the recent bumper harvest in the spiritual fields and medicine gardens.
In order to escort this batch of resource products to Qinghefang City for sale, Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei were sent out, along with twenty disciples.
Hearing this, Lu Ping suddenly understood. No wonder the sect was so quiet.
In addition, Lu Yuanshan also reported on some personal situations of the sect disciples.
Compared with the cold system data, Lu Ping had a more detailed understanding of the sect's situation by listening to the sect's economic growth and the increase in spiritual stones from Lu Yuanshankou.
He also liked this kind of slow chat.
Then he talked about the disciples of the sect.
Just talking about She Qingqing, this is what Lu Ping is more concerned about.
After more than a year of study, coupled with the blessing of "diligence and studiousness", She Qingqing mastered the knowledge and theory of alchemy two months ago and was able to try alchemy.
Li Weixiao and Li Weimiao also laid a good foundation for spiritual practice and officially entered the path of spiritual practice.
Among them, because Li Weimiao possesses the Heavenly Spiritual Root, his cultivation speed is much faster than that of Li Weixiao, and he has reached the first level of Qi training.
This little girl has so much potential that Lu Ping can't wait to learn an ice attribute technique and pass it on to her for practice.
There is another person, the second son Lu Changfeng.
Within this year, Lu Changfeng's cultivation has touched the threshold of the ninth level of Qi training, and he will soon be able to make a breakthrough.
The growth of his cultivation is naturally due to Lu Ping's use of [Cultivation Acceleration] and [Sect Teaching].
The rest of the disciples, a small number of whom are in the early stages of Qi training, have also advanced to one level.
As for Zhang Nianchuan and other disciples in the later stage of Qi training, their cultivation level has not increased significantly, but it cannot be said that there has been no growth, it is just very subtle.
In addition, Lu Yuanshan also reported the results of the two outside affairs of Sandstorm Beast and Qingyuzhu.
Lu Yuanshan told him everything that needed to be said and what should be known to Lu Ping. He also added in time any missing items that he thought of during the period.
This exchange between father and son took more than half a day.
The conversation didn't end until the long roar of the Cloud-Stepping Beast rang out from the foot of Qinglian Mountain and Lu Changfeng and his party arrived at the sect.
Through this conversation, Lu Ping had a very thorough understanding of the development of the sect.
After opening the sect's mountain-protecting array and allowing Lu Changfeng and his party to enter the Qingshan Sect, Lu Yuanshan returned to the cave again and mentioned something he had always wanted to ask for advice.
"Father, when Song Minghui and others were clearing out the Sandstorm Beast's lair, they discovered an unknown purple-gold mineral and brought it back to the sect."
"This mineral has been handed over to the sect and is now in the hands of the child. However, the child, the younger sister and others are still inexperienced and cannot tell what it is. I wonder if father can recognize it?"
As he spoke, Lu Yuanshan opened the storage bag, took out the purple-gold mineral that was the size of a pair of fists, and placed it outside the cave.
