I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 582: Chapter 380: A Hundredfold Price Difference_2

Gong Ranran put down the jade disc magic tool used to survey the flow of the earth’s veins in her hand, and pointed out a circle with a diameter of half a meter on the sunny slope of the hill.

Chen Mobai and Wang Xingyu immediately took out their magic tools and after a short while, they dug out a hole large enough for the Vermillion Fruit Tree to be planted.

“Next, it will require daily watering and rainfall. Once the spirit tree has adapted to its environment and starts budding, it means the transplantation has been successful.”

Gong Ranran, a genius at Dance Tool Dao Academy specializing in spirit plants, had researched the Vermillion Fruit Tree for two years and was very familiar with the habits of this spirit plant.

“You might have to put in some additional effort for a while.”

Chen Mobai certainly didn’t understand the Vermillion Fruit Tree as deeply as Wang Xingyu, which was why he had invited them to ensure the successful transplantation.

“We’ll consider this as a practical application of our spirit plant course.”

However, Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran looked quite pleased and content.

At this point in their relationship, they were deeply in love. No matter the environment, as long as they were together, everything felt like paradise.

After Chen Mobai treated them to a meal in Red Sandstone City, knowing that they both were spirit plant masters and loved spirit wood, he took them to Red Dawn Institution to see the Rank-4 Blue Jade Wellingtonia.

“It’s truly magnificent. I guess only the Big Tree which suppresses the Ten Thousand Waters and Mountains is more majestic than this Blue Jade Wellingtonia.”

Gong Ranran was mesmerised by the Blue Jade Tree at the apex of the highest mountain peak, towering into the clouds and enveloping in a mist that looked like a bridge from earth to the heavens, as she stood among the Wellingtonia forest at the foot of the mountain.

Even the Rank-5 Vermillion Fruit Tree at Dance Tool Dao Academy pales in comparison to this Blue Jade Wellingtonia in terms of physical appearance.

“All the green paulownia seedlings here are branches of the Blue Jade Wellingtonia. I’ve also got one.”

Since the mountain top where the Rank-4 Blue Jade Wellingtonia stood was the seclusion place for Gold Core Cultivators, they could only tour around Red Dawn Institution at the midpoint of the mountain. Chen Mobai bought two green paulownia seedlings as a token of gratitude for Wang Xingyu and Gong Ranran.

They were both very happy with this gift.

As flowers, fruits, roots, and stems of Blue Jade Wellingtonia were widely sold in the Red Dawn Institution as prime materials for alchemy, Wang Xingyu, being an Alchemist, bought a large batch. He had far more gains in Red Sandstone City compared to Yunyang Bing.

For the next month, Gong Ranran helped in looking after the Vermillion Fruit Tree while Wang Xingyu shuttled between the Puppet Factory and Red Dawn Institution, trying to master the alchemy system centering around the Blue Jade Wellingtonia.

Purple Fire Pill, Fire Clearing Pill, Waterfire Pill, Blue Flame Pill, Jade Fire Pill and so on, he started to refine them one by one according to their formulas by purchasing the materials.

Whenever he was confused, Wang Xingyu put aside his prideful identity of Dance Tools Dao Academy and humbly asked the teachers at Red Dawn Institution for guidance.

The teachers at the Hundred and Twenty Mansion, many of them merely at the 9th level of Qi Cultivation, felt honored to be consulted by a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from an academy and showed their real skills to him.

By the time Chen Mobai’s Vermillion Fruit Tree had been successfully transplanted, Wang Xingyu entered a critical phase in learning the alchemy system of Red Dawn Institution. Consequently, he applied for an internship outside the Daoist Academy, just like Chen Mobai.

Gong Ranran, who was idle, helped Chen Mobai plant the hundred Fire Spirit Tree seedlings while caring for the Vermillion Fruit Tree.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai went to Red Dawn Institution again to buy some green paulownia seedlings. He also went to the neighboring Yu Wood City, known for its cultivation of spirit wood, to purchase Qingbai Spirit Wood, Purple Pine Spirit Wood, White Willow Spirit Wood, Flowering Pear Spirit Wood and other tree seedlings, totaling a thousand, to be planted on the Thousand Wood Nodes of the Yunyang Ice Array Method.

Of course, he also mixed in seedlings of the Red-sun Spirit Tree.

Two months later, when Wang Xingyu finally mastered the alchemy system of Red Dawn Institution, Chen Mobai’s previously deserted Puppet Factory started to take shape.

Chai Lun led his team to complete all puppet production, and the equipment ordered from the Academy of Heavenly Crafts had also arrived. Recently, Chen Mobai had been busily adjusting the final settings of the Puppet Factory.

The factory merely occupied a very small portion of this deserted land. On the remainder of the vast land, various species of Spirit Wood tree seedlings were planted sporadically.

Once these seedlings fully grew, they would not only turn this place into a land of grace but also complete the “Fire Sun Thousand Wood Array” set up by Yunyang Bing and his team, transforming it into a vast woodland.

“Chen, I should be thanking you this time.”

Wang Xingyu had a joyful look on his face. After incorporating the alchemy system of Red Dawn Institution into his own knowledge structure, his alchemy skills improved significantly, and he was confident about passing the Rank-3 Alchemist examination.

He had already been a Rank-2 Alchemist during his Qi Cultivation period. However, over the years because of not reaching Foundation Establishment, his Alchemy had hit a bottleneck.

Originally, he had planned to naturally progress as it comes, but surprisingly, after coming to Red Sandstone City to help transplant the Vermillion Fruit Tree, he found the opportunity to take his alchemy to the next level.

“The key point is that you have now built your foundation. The enhancement of your cultivation level is the key to breaking through in Alchemy.”

As an observer, Chen Mobai had a clearer perspective. Wang Xingyu, being the top alchemist of their cohort and possessing exceptional talent, would have been able to absorb knowledge from other sources even if the Alchemy System of the Red Dawn Institution was absent.

Breaking through from Rank-2 to Rank-3 in Alchemy, the crux lies in the advancement of the cultivation level.

After all, in the history of the Immortal Sects, there have been many Cultivators who possess Hundred Immortal Skills beyond their cultivation level, but almost none who can cross two ranks.

Aside from strict testing in the Immortal Sect, many advancements that require bridging the gap often demand a Divine Sense and Spiritual Power that far surpass the limits tolerated by Cultivators.

For instance, if Chen Mobai were to draw a Rank-3 Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman now, he believes he could accomplish it with some training. However, if asked to draw a Rank-4, he could never do it even if his cultivation level was increased ten-fold.

“Old Chen, then we should return to the Daoist Academy first.”

Wang Xingyu, after mastering the essence of the Red Dawn Institution’s Alchemy, no longer needed to stay in Red Sandstone City.

“I am grateful to you both for this time. You both can keep these two jars of wine.”

Even though it was primarily Gong Ranran who helped this time, and Wang Xingyu mostly went out to study, Chen Mobai still expressed his gratitude to both of them.

“There is no need for formalities between us.”

Both of them had previously tasted the Spiritual Wine brewed in Chen Mobai’s hometown, so they accepted it without hesitation.

After bidding them farewell, the Puppet Factory constructed by Chen Mobai reached its final stages of setup.

Zhou Tiangong also spent his time here, along with Chai Lun. The three talented Puppet Lines individuals gathered together to address the various issues that arose while operating the Puppet Factory.

“Phew, it has finally succeeded.”

After three consecutive days and nights of uneventful operation, with no alerts from either the equipment or puppets, Chai Lun heaved a sigh of relief, downing the tea from the table in one gulp.

“I appreciate the hard work from both of you, seniors.”

Chen Mobai sincerely thanked Zhou Tiangong and Chai Lun, who just waved their hands indicating that it was their responsibility.

“Although the Puppet Factory has started successfully, it can only serve the production of talisman paper and talisman ink for now. You’ve claimed such a large land here, do you have plans to expand it to other industries in the future?”

Zhou Tiangong held the talisman paper made by the fully mechanized Puppet Factory in the past two days, observing the difference between it and manually made ones, while asking Chen Mobai for his plans.

“In the future, once the toxic fires are purged, I plan to develop a forest, a medicinal field, and breed some Spirit Beasts. Maybe I’ll start by opening a pharmacy. If that proves profitable, I may extend to the Artifact Refining industry.”

Chen Mobai briefly stated his industrial intentions. But for the next ten years, his focus would mainly be on talisman paper and ink, capitalizing on the spirit wood resources in the Divine Tree Secret Realm to establish his foothold in the Immortal Sects.

However, making a profit in Spirit Wood Sects isn’t the main focus, as resources have already assigned clear and stringent classifications and timings. The amount of Good Deed Points earned is secondary.

The crux is to sell things from here in the Tianhe Realm.

For instance, the Rank-1 superior talisman paper in Zhou Tiangong’s hand is priced at only 80 Good Deed Points in the Immortal Sects market.

However, at the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had seen the price being marked as 1 Spirit Stone for a dozen in the sect shop.

That is a dozen sheets!

After conversion, the price difference is more than a hundredfold.

As long as the Divine Wood Sect can protect it, Chen Mobai is confident about taking over the entire talisman paper and ink market in the Eastern Wilderness.
