I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 388: Chapter 294 Comments_1

In the Tianhe Realm, due to the unique environment, many Qi Practitioners love to conceal their true cultivation levels to confuse potential enemies and flip the table at critical moments.

Even when Yuan Chiye was training his Qi, he had made use of such mechanisms to hide his true cultivation level.

He hadn’t paid much attention before, but now, with the keen sight of the Foundation Building Realm and past experience, he unhesitatingly discovered the fact that Luo Yixuan had hidden part of her cultivation level.

To the eye, it seemed as though she had recently entered the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, but in truth, she was almost at Qi Cultivation Perfection, at par with the senior disciples of true lineage.

If she had a Rank-2 magic artifact and didn’t conceal her abilities, she would likely not defeat the true disciples handpicked by the twelve department heads of the three halls. However, there wouldn’t be a problem for her to rank within the top twenty-four.

“What is she trying to achieve with this?”

Yuan Chiye scratched his chin, commenting curiously.

The Luo Family is a practitioner’s family in Yun Country, and she has the backup of Luo Shupin, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, in the Divine Wood Sect. Typically, only those without backing in the Tianhe Realm will practice such techniques to hide their cultivation levels.

“Perhaps, she doesn’t want to overshadow Luo Yixiu.”

Chen Mobai made a casual guess, but the real reason could only be known by understanding the Luo family’s intentions in Yun Country or hearing from Luo Yixuan herself.

“Anyway, it’s not important. The key point now is the situation with Lei Nation. I wonder if Luo Shupin is alive or dead?”

Before the end of the year, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect delivering the spirit stones found a discrepancy in the amount. After a count, nearly eight hundred spirit stones were missing.

Since the Divine Wood Sect’s disciples had personally received the bag from Luo Shupin, they should have counted it then. But the disciple was hesitant to count in front of the master cultivator and trusted Luo Shupin’s character, so he filled in the reported amount in the handover document.

Upon discovering the discrepancy, the Reward Virtue Hall naturally wanted to investigate.

Generally, for assignments requiring foundation establishment cultivators, the Divine Wood Sect would assign two or three people to ensure full clarity about the truth of the situation.

The case of missing spirit stones from Lei Nation’s mine, in theory, should have been led by Zhou Wangshen, with one person from each the Reward Virtue Hall and Penalty Evil Hall.

Like Chen Mobai, Yuan Chiye was once a chief of the Formation Division. After establishing his foundation and finding no available position, he stayed in the Formation Division as a wandering elder.

While the Penalty Evil Hall did invite him over as an inspector, Yuan Chiye wasn’t interested. He wanted to join Shenmu Hall and help E Yun, who lacked support.

However, due to big plans, the Reward Virtue Hall didn’t send anyone to do the task and had the Shenmu Hall arrange for it.

Not surprisingly, a mere loss of eight hundred spirit stones was insignificant to the Reward Virtue Hall.

After Meng Hong reviewed the files of the Lei Nation spirit stone mine, he found that Yuan Chiye had participated in it. So it was decided, at the time when Zhou Wangshen couldn’t intervene, Yuan Chiye was the only choice.

So, the secluded Yuan Chiye was called over to represent Shenmu Hall, fully responsible for handling this situation.

Perhaps the Sect Leader made a promise, if this matter is handled well, he will let him into Shenmu Hall.

Hence, Yuan Chiye poured his heart and soul into this.

“Who was dispatched by the Penalty Evil Hall?”

Chen Mobai asked this key question after hearing the story.

“I am not sure, the tasks of the three halls are generally carried out separately, and the final truth and results are concluded by comparing the reports of the three people’s archives by the sect.”

The system of the Divine Wood Sect was quite interesting, but if the matter were to be investigated, it would not be possible to keep it under wraps.

After all, there are only so many cultivators who have established foundations within the sect, just by looking at who is not in their usual place, basic deduction can guess who took the task.

“Right, you are going to take up your post in the Reward Virtue Hall, right? Why don’t you inform Chu Zuoshu, come with me to Lei Nation and investigate this matter.”

Yuan Chiye suddenly suggested something, but Chen Mobai had an instinctive reluctance to travel.

What he liked best was to stay peaceful in his small piece of land, farming, cultivating, practicing techniques, and experiencing the slow rate of improvement and evolution.

But since Yuan Chiye said so, Chen Mobai couldn’t refuse.

“I can report to Reward Virtue Hall only after the end of the year, but I can pay a visit to Master Chu and see if I can get the appointment letter in advance, and go with you to Lei Nation.”

“There’s no hurry, I estimate the investigation will take several months. It’d be best if we can get approval from Master Chu, but if not, it doesn’t matter. Though I’m average at magic duels, my survival skills are top-notch.”

Yuan Chiye said with a smile, to which Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.

Later on, the two of them saw the twenty-four true disciples of this year advancing one after another on the second floor.

Mu Yuan remained dominant, unbeatable.

Next were familiar faces like Feng Hongxue, Li Yixian, Ding Ying, Guo Sheng, as well as new faces making a name for themselves.

For example, Luo Yixiu, Lian Maozhi, Jiang Zongheng, Gu Yan, and others.

“Your batch finally started to grow.”

Seeing this scene, Yuan Chiye commented with a sigh.

Six years ago, when E Yun and Zhou Wangshen were assigned the task of guiding the spirits and recruiting new disciples, the Yun Country batch attracted attention due to the emergence of Chen Mobai, a rare sword cultivation genius, thus believed to be the most gifted batch.
