I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 590: Chapter 384: The Six Territories of the Eastern Region_2

However, even with the deep roots of the Eastern Earth Region, they find the annual invasion from Eastern Li Region a headache every year.

Eastern Li is the northernmost place in the entire Eastern Region, and it is where devil cultivators run rampant. The eighteen sects of the Demonic Cultivation, and various other side sects all have inheritance there, mixing fish and dragons, but hidden among them are extremely formidable figures of evil cultivation.

Three hundred years ago, an evil cultivator who called himself Ming Zun, reached the perfection of demonic cultivation, and single-handedly invaded Eastern Earth Region, traversing thirty thousand miles with a single sword, destroying sects and exterminating countless doors.

He even stepped onto the Dao Palace, one of the holy lands of Eastern Earth, and forced the emergence of a primordial spirit incarnation left behind by True Monarch Yuan before his ascendance.

After this battle, Ming Zun disappeared.

The Dao Palace then announced its closure, and it remains closed to this day.

This has caused the Eastern Earth’s four great holy lands to lack one, and many new cultivators even think that there are only three major holy lands.

All these things were originally heard by Zhou Shengqing from Hun Yuan Founder, and he wrote them down and placed them in the Book Pavilion for the foundation establishment cultivators of Divine Wood Sect to read, in order to let his junior disciples know the vastness of the world.

At the end of the book, Zhou Shengqing wrote about one more thing.

Founder Hun Yuan once visited the Dao Palace, intending to join as a disciple of True Monarch Yuan, but because his generation was too high to be properly placed, the situation ended up being a little unpleasant.

Then he followed with the story of the Founder Hun Yuan returning to the Eastern Wilderness to establish the Five Elements Sect.

The cost of a meal at the Sky Meal Building is quite high. For Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo, four dishes and a soup; Heavenly Fragrant Silver Fish, Spirit Mushroom Chicken Soup, Braised Pork Ribs, Stir-Fried Shrimp Balls, and Spirit Ginger and Scallion Xuan Vegetable, along with a pot of wine, actually cost them sixty spirit stones.

However, the expensive price is worth it. After Chen Mobai finished eating, he felt as though his vitality had somewhat strengthened. After being cooked using special techniques, the spirit materials were easily absorbed and refined by the body like elixirs. Even the Pure Yang spiritual power within his Dantian Qi Sea subtly fluctuated. After a few Grand Circulations, a small droplet of liquid spiritual power vaguely began to condense.

“If I could eat at Sky Meal Building’s treasures regularly, there would be no worries about not making progress in my cultivation.”

After feeling the changes in his body, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

“That’s what I thought initially too, but it’s just too expensive. It’s only because you’ve come to the Yuhu Market this time, little junior brother, that I could rightfully invite you and then put this spirit stone expense on the family’s account.”

Fu Xiuzuo humorously replied, causing Chen Mobai to laugh awkwardly.

“Try this, the Yuhu Spring of Sky Meal Building is exceptional. Consuming it can help digest the spiritual energy contained in the delicacies.”

Fu Xiuzuo opened another pot of wine and poured some for Chen Mobai.

“This wine is not bad, not worse than the one brewed by Ming’er.”

After taking a sip, Chen Mobai nodded faintly. Since he had already digested it himself, he didn’t feel the purpose of this wine other than its flavor.

“Fu Huakun told me a long time ago that you, junior brother, are a gallant in wine, this Yuhu Spring is already the best wine in the Sky Meal Building.”

Fu Xiuzuo and the inspector of the Reward Virtue Hall, Fu Huakun, are cousins. He had already heard from the latter that Chen Mobai was highly favored by their own Old Ancestor, so he specially came over to treat Chen Mobai.

“Oh? Doesn’t Sky Meal Building have Rank-2 spiritual wine?”

Chen Mobai could tell that this Yuhu Spring was only Rank-1. He thought that Sky Meal Building, with its background, shouldn’t only have this.

“Of course there is Rank-2 Yuhu Spring, but it needs to have been pre-ordered a month in advance, and it can only be shipped from the Sky Meal Building’s main store in the Eastern Yi Territory.”

Fu Xiuzuo responded. He was already past the peak of his age, although he was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he had no possibility of advancing further, so he spent most of his time indulging in enjoyment. Sky Meal Building was also a place he frequented.

“What’s the price like?”

“It depends on the grade, the lowest Rank-2 Lower-grade is a hundred spirit stones per pot, I’ve only tasted this kind.”

Hearing Fu Xiuzuo’s words, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but sigh that the Eastern Wilderness was really “impoverished”, he couldn’t even enjoy his drinks unabashedly.

Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan on the other hand, both had gleaming eyes.

They both knew that last year, Yan Jinye and Zhuo Ming had jointly brewed Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine.

Although only two jugs were successful, those were large jugs of twenty catties each.

The pot of alcohol at Sky Meal Building now had a serving size of 10 taels, implying that the two jars of alcohol from last year were worth 6,400 Spirit Stones.

“This year, my junior apprentice has successfully brewed some Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spiritual Wine. After it’s opened, I’ll ask Wen Bo to send two jars to Brother Fu.”

This jar referred to the small jar, which usually weighs one jin.

On hearing this, Fu Xiuzuo burst into laughter, expressing that the meal was worth it today.

After the meal, they discussed some market-related issues. When Chen Mobai mentioned wanting to operate a shop, Fu Xiuzuo promised to arrange for the Fu family to rent out the one leased to the Divine Wood Sect.

“Many thanks to Clan Head Fu for his understanding.”

Pang Guangmin, who was on the side, voiced his gratitude upon hearing Fu Xiuzuo’s words.

The eight shops leased out by the Divine Wood Sect were actually managed by the Fu family, as market administrators. The Divine Wood Sect received a fixed amount of 1,200 Spirit Stones annually, and whatever price the Fu family leased them out for was beyond their concern—undoubtedly, they made much more.

Liu Ruzhong was Fu Zongjue’s recognised disciple and Fu Xiuzuo’s junior fellow apprentice, hence, this benefit naturally did not fall into the hands of outsiders.

Originally, if Fu Xiuzuo had not spoken up, Pang Guangmin would have needed to personally visit the Fu family to negotiate this matter.

If the Fu family had acted tough, Pang Guangmin wedged in the middle, would have certainly been in a gloomy situation.

However, it seemed Pang Guangmin had underestimated the influence of Chen Mobai’s name. They hadn’t even gone to the Fu family yet but Fu Xiuzuo had personally come over with a very friendly attitude.

With Fu Xiuzuo’s assistance, matters regarding the shop were easily settled.

Of the eight shops of the Divine Wood Sect, the Fu family personally operated two. As soon as Fu Xiuzuo spoke up, they immediately began to clear up the goods in the shop with the best location. By evening, it had been cleared and tidied up.

“Junior Brother Chen, do you plan to turn this into a liquor store?”

Fu Xiuzuo and Chen Mobai came to this shop in the centre of Yuhu Market after their drink; the shop was small but it lay close to the four shops that the Divine Wood Sect operated personally, indicating a clear history.

“I’ll sell some general goods and earn some resources for cultivation.”

Chen Mobai said modestly before pointing, the original shop name on the signboard above the door had been erased and “Xiao Nanshan’s Shop” was subsequently etched onto it.

Fu Xiuzuo nodded, his cousin Fu Huakun had told him that this junior brother’s shop in Divine Wood City had the same name and mainly sold Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine of reasonable quality.

The market for Spirit Rice was relatively stable whereas business for Spiritual Wine was average or rather lacked market, as most Loose Cultivators would only spend their Spirit Stones on increasing their Cultivation Level.

Loose Cultivators wouldn’t even take a glance at places like Sky Meal Building.

Given the Spirit Stone, they would rather buy a few pills.

Chen Mobai stayed in Yuhu Market for three days during which Fu Xiuzuo accompanied him throughout, growing their friendship.

Before leaving, Chen Mobai treated Fu Xiuzuo to a meal at Sky Meal Building in return.

However, this time they drank the wine that they brought themselves.

The flavor was entirely different from that of Jade Pot Spring, but it had its unique charm which left Fu Xiuzuo greatly satisfied.

“Junior Brother Chen, a meetup for Foundation Establishment cultivators will be held in Tiankui Market in half a month. I’ll also be there then, so after you’ve finished your inspection tour in Green Phoenix Market, you can come over with Old Ghost Liang.”

Following Yuhu Market was Green Phoenix Market. Although it belonged to the Cultivator Liang family there was also another family that Chen Mobai was very wary of – the Guo family.

This was the family of Madam Guo, who had been killed by Immortal Feiming at Lonely Spirit Ridge.

However, after Chen Mobai had killed Immortal Feiming, he suddenly discovered that Madam Guo’s body had disappeared.

He had mentioned this matter to the then Sect Leader Meng Hong to prevent unexpected incidents when the sect was mining Void Stones. Sect Leader Zhou Shengqing had personally made a trip to Lonely Spirit Ridge, confirmed that there were no problems, and even set up a Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation.

He might as well take this patrol opportunity to have some exchanges with the Guo family.
