I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 678: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_4

The cultivation puppets used for land reclamation could be used here again, but it would necessitate the relocation of a portion of the mortal population.

However, both of his apprentices were capable of handling these matters. They had gained valuable experience last year and even though there were more spirit fields to tend to this year, they both assured him they would manage it properly.

Over time, Chen Mobai’s affection for his three apprentices in the Eastern Wilderness grew.

They were respectful and dutiful, performing all tasks assigned to them with utmost dedication.

No such disciples could be found in the Immortal Sect.

Subsequently, Chen Mobai visited Divine Wood City. He acquired various kinds of spirit beast meat from Giant Tree Ridge through the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, hoping to further enhance his Spirit Root Attributes.

...
Unfortunately, after only tasting seven or eight kinds, he had to return to the Immortal Sect.

It was because Meng Huang had ended her retreat.

She slightly hesitated as she invited him over to visit.

They were now so close, they could understand each other’s intent instantly. Upon hearing her invitation, Chen Mobai had already guessed the purpose of the visit.

It must be that she still had not mastered the Marginal Law during her seclusion and she wanted his guidance again, even though it would mean exhausting work for him.

As for this, Chen Mobai willingly agreed to go.

As expected, after a candlelit dinner on the balcony, a shy Meng Huang sat down next to him and conveyed her intention.

Feeling indebted to her, Chen Mobai did not refuse and worked tirelessly as she desired of him.

After several days of hard work, Meng Huang looked glowing. There was a sudden realization during one of the discussions on the living room couch. She seemed enlightened and her eyes sparkled.

“I will definitely grasp it this time.”

With a wealth of practice, Meng Huang’s endurance had greatly increased. With Chen Mobai’s cooperation, she stubbornly endured many sessions from the beginning to end.

After this impeccably executed practice session, she confidently isolated herself for retreat again.

Having fulfilled his role as a helper, Chen Mobai knew he should not disrupt her at this critical moment, so he left the hilltop villa quietly.

After resting for two days, realizing he hadn’t visited the Daoist Academy for a while, he decided to use the Short Teleportation Talisman, which he hadn’t used for a long time.

He used to go to school with Meng Huang every day, this talisman had been buried at the bottom of his storage bag and was almost lost.

Upon reaching the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai naturally went to see Che Yucheng first.

“The Purple Electric Sword hasn’t chosen its master yet, don’t worry.”

Che Yucheng could guess what Chen Mobai wanted to ask as soon as he saw Chen Mobai carrying a fruit basket, so he spoke in advance.

“Teacher, as you see, I just came to visit you.”

Chen Mobai, looking completely unaffected, put down the fruit basket and started to brew tea for Che Yucheng.

“Oh, did you know that the Nature Studies Academy suddenly changed their representative for the last round?”

After hearing this news from Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai was completely taken aback.

Aside from him, those who were guaranteed to advance to the last round consisted of real people in the Core Formation stage from the Nature Studies Academy, Five Thunder Studies Academy, and Mountain and Sea Academy.

The real person from the Nature Studies Academy, named Yu Shiling, was perceived as a filler candidate. However, since they have replaced her now, it definitely signifies that the newcomer potentially has a higher chance of gaining the approval of the Purple Electric Sword.

Upon realizing this, Chen Mobai’s face paled slightly.

A curveball indeed.

“Teacher, have some tea.”

Even so, Chen Mobai soon composed himself. No matter how competent the cultivator chosen by the Nature Studies Academy could be, they were unlikely to be closer to the Purple Electric Sword than both the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Academy or the Five Thunder Academy.

The final outcome still relied on the last round, and would depend on their performances.

“One of the best things about you is that even while being brave and perseverant, you remain undisturbed by honor or disgrace and maintain a calm mindset.”

Taking the hot tea from Chen Mobai, Che Yucheng nodded appreciatively. It was because of this very quality that he had accepted Chen Mobai as his disciple.

“Teacher, you’re being too kind.”

Chen Mobai only smiled at this. He did desire the Purple Electric Sword, but even if he couldn’t obtain it, his reaction would merely be disappointment, not mental unbalance.

After all, he had an entire world of immortal cultivation that was broader than the Earth Origin Star. Given enough time to develop, he believed he would eventually possess an artifact on par with the Rank-4 Purple Electric Sword.

The new representative from the Nature Studies Academy for Core Formation was Yan Qiongzhi.”

After finishing his cup of tea, Che Yucheng decided not to keep Chen Mobai in suspense any longer and revealed the name he would be only too familiar with.

“She managed to achieve Core Formation, too?”

Chen Mobai recalls his interaction at Jumang Daoist Academy with Yan Qiongzhi in Wen Renxue’s pavilion.

Although that was their second meeting, it was the first time they had engaged in meaningful conversation.

At that time, she was fearful about not being able to complete her Core Formation, thinking she might have to ask Chen Mobai for Pure Yang Purple Qi.

Little did he know that just over a year later, Yan Qiongzhi had managed to achieve Core Formation.

Undeniably, she was a genius who was even named alongside Lan Haitian, having established her own Gold Core Domain during the Foundation Building Realm.

“Her Core Formation was inevitable.”

Che Yucheng spoke casually, the majority of geniuses who established a Gold Core Domain during Foundation Establishment could successfully reach Core Formation in the history of the Immortal Sect.

Hence, both Lan Haitian and Yan Qiongzhi were already considered as half-real persons of the Core Formation stage right after they established their Gold Core Domains.

And history did prove this point.

Once these two obtained Core Formation materials, they both succeeded on their first attempt, true to their reputation of the twin jewels of immortality.

“Teacher, does a Gold Core Domain also aid Core Formation?”

Chen Mobai thought of something. He was now only one Pure Yang Scroll away from reaching Perfection in the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, after which he could commence preparation for Core Formation.
