I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 677: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_3

Last year, Zhuo Ming was eliminated in the fourth round of the Divine Wood Sect’s annual competition. Chen Mobai knew this wasn’t a reflection of her true abilities and had been thinking about how to improve her magic duel skills ever since.

Conveniently, this group of Mountain Civet Cats were also demonic beasts, with three of them at the top level of Rank-1, making excellent sparring partners.

Zhuo Ming had both the Five Element Umbrella and the Purple Fire Sword Talisman for protection, so her safety was guaranteed.

“Yes, Master.”

As the three of them spoke, they landed on Jishan Mountain.

Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense surged out, quickly locating the Spirit Chickens here. As expected, each chicken had three heads, six eyes, six legs, and six wings, and they were all quite plump.

...
“Today, your teacher will show you some cooking skills.”

Ever since Chen Mobai heard about these Spirit Chickens, he had been looking forward to this moment. With so many chicken legs and wings…

He took hold of two chickens, and with a pointer, a pit appeared on the ground.

At this point, Zhuo Ming had already rolled up her sleeves, cleanly and swiftly helping to slaughter the chickens.

Luo Yixuan, despite her oppressive upbringing, was still a child of a noble house and had never slaughtered a chicken before.

So she could only watch from the sidelines.

Chen Mobai chopped down a Red Sun Spiritual Wood tree and, with a chant, Five Elements Sword Light flickered, splitting the firewood neatly, each piece as if it had been measured with a ruler.

The scene reminded Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming of the time when they had just joined the Divine Wood Sect, chopping logs in Bud Hall.

At that time, Chen Mobai had made quite a bit of Spirit Stone profit from the Red Sun Spiritual Wood.

Back then, neither of them could have imagined that they would end up becoming his disciples.

However, if they could turn back time, they would pledge allegiance to him without hesitation.

By this point, Chen Mobai had whittled a skewer and began to thread the spitted chicken legs and wings that Zhuo Ming had prepared onto it, roasting them over the crackling fire.

He took out a tray of seasonings he had bought from a fairy market from his bag. Before long, the two disciples had oily mouths from the delicious chicken.

After consuming all the chicken legs and wings, the two girls were still somewhat unsatisfied, contemplating catching a couple more chickens.

“Master, your cooking is the best I’ve ever tasted,” Luo Yixuan said a bit shyly as she wiped away the oil from the corners of her mouth with a kerchief.

“The key is the seasoning,” Chen Mobai replied. As he spoke, he took out his Spirit-Testing Instrument to examine his Spirit Root Attributes. Seeing no change, he concluded that the Spirit Chickens were of no use.

“From now on, we can use the remains of the rice to feed these Spirit Chickens. Ming, in order to cultivate your Law Body, besides Spirit Rice, the flesh of spiritual beasts is also essential. I’m going to give you this mountain, how many Spirit Chickens you can eat depends on you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming immediately knelt, showing her gratitude with a grand bow.

“No need to be so formal, let’s check out the other two mountains next.”

After gesturing for Zhuo Ming to rise, Chen Mobai gathered the two, heading to Dishi Mountain and Shan Mountain.

The catfish from Dishi Mountain could serve both as food and medicine. Its taste after being cooked was acceptable, but it was of no use for the Spirit Root.

Finally, at Shan Mountain, the trio landed only to be met by the stares of a dozen pairs of oily green eyes, belonging to fierce Mountain Civet Cats watching them from all sides.

However, with a cold snort, Chen Mobai displayed his Foundation Establishment aura, causing all the Mountain Civet Cats to disappear in an instant.

Only the one with the strongest aura was left. Its body was frozen by Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense and was then pulled over to him from a distance.

“Ming, you should establish a contract with it. It will offer more protection while you practice magic duels,” said Chen Mobai.

Zhuo Ming nodded and then established a Blood Curse Contract on the spot.

“Sister Zhuo, your cat is so pretty,” said Luo Yixuan. Chen Mobai looked at the Mountain Civet Cat, now standing by Zhuo Ming’s foot after the contract, with its pitch-black and gray patterns, round head, and large tail. It was a very common Mountain Civet Cat.

Compared to the white cat he kept in the student council, it was much less attractive.

The only notable feature was its shimmering green eyes, which were as bright as emeralds.

“Mountain Civet Cats are said to have the diluted bloodline of the Earth Escape Divine Power. The ancestors of the group on this mountain once achieved Rank-2. Ming, you can spend some effort on this little cat when you have time,” said Chen Mobai.

During his time in Shenmu Hall, Ma Wuniang had told him a lot about the three Spirit Mountains. The Mountain Civet Cat was one of the highlights. He was now advising Zhuo Ming with the original words.

Within the Giant Tree Ridge, there are many spiritual beasts that can advance to Rank-2. The Mountain Civet Cats are a favorite among earth-attribute cultivators. Not only are they easy to keep, but they’re also strong with great speed, increasing their survival rates when exploring dangerous areas.

A Mountain Civet Cat that has advanced to Rank-2 awakens the Earth Escape Divine Power. Then, when creating underground Cave Dwellings or mining, it would be extremely useful.

Zhuo Ming was also lucky. If the disciples of the Beast Department wanted to catch a Mountain Civet Cat to be their own spirit beast, they would have to go through many difficulties, as they often had to prepare to face an entire den of them.

Even with mentors at the Foundation Establishment stage, they would still let their disciples catch their own Mount Civet Cats, to train and improve them.

This is why many Qi Cultivation disciples could only catch ordinary Rank-1 Mountain Civet Cats. For a disciple like Zhuo Ming who got a top-level Rank-1 beast equivalent to a Qi Cultivation Perfection level spirit beast, it was thanks to having a good teacher like Chen Mobai.

After visiting the three Spirit Mountains, Chen Mobai roughly discussed his plans for the thousand-acre Spirit Field with his two disciples.
