I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 712: Chapter 428: The Art of Longevity Puppetry (8k)_2

However, Chen Mobai knew that the so-called not for sale to outsiders was only due to an unsatisfactory price.

Thus, he authorized Liu Wenbo to associate with the cultivators of the Snow-blowing Palace, letting his senior disciple negotiate on his behalf and find out what conditions would make them willing to sell this “Cold Ice Condensing Crystal”.

The reputation of Divine Wood Sect’s first-ranked sword cultivator still carried weight in the Eastern Wilderness.

Lan Lingping, the outer chief elder of Snow-blowing Palace, was willing to have a face-to-face discussion with Chen Mobai about this matter.

Lan Lingping was a cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, ranking third in the Snow-blowing Palace just behind the Core Formation Old Ancestor and the Sect Leader; her willingness to meet suggested she respected Chen Mobai.

Liu Wenbo, not being able to make decisions on behalf of his master, sent this matter over in a message talisman.

...

Looking at the date, Chen Mobai noticed it was sent a month ago.

By now, Liu Wenbo should have returned to the sect as the year-end competition was very important for Qi Cultivation Disciples. Next year, a batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms would mature and by then, Zeng Woyou would pick and refine three batches of Foundation Building Pills.

In name, these three batches of Foundation Building Pills are allocated to the Golden Cliff, but what if there were extras after they are refined?

Perhaps a few of the top-ranking true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect could benefit ahead of time.

Although this news was only known among the higher ups, Chen Mobai, as the initiator, had already let his three disciples in on it.

Therefore, besides Zhuo Ming, who had little confidence in himself, both Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were eager and already waiting for this day.

Chen Mobai checked the other message talismans and saw that Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan had both gone to Divine Wood City for the annual Sect Competition, and had reported back to him.

During his seclusion, they had also hired some Sect Qi Cultivation Disciples to operate puppets and had harvested and sorted out all the ripe Fire Spirit Rice from the thousand acres for the year-end, and stored them in the warehouse.

The sale of these Spirit Rice also required Chen Mobai to come up with a strategy.

After all, the Body Forging Department of the Divine Wood Sect was already saturated, and even if the remaining quantity was sold in the markets of all of Jian Country, it was expected to be like a drop in the ocean and not able to do much.

But even if it can’t be sold off, it can be used to brew wine, or be both sold and given to the sect’s Qi Cultivation Disciples as a form of advertisement.

Luo Yixuan spoke about the recent half-year situation in the Eastern Wilderness; along the border of Lei Nation, there had been frequent frictions between Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain, and it seemed that they were just short of the two upper levels tearing each other’s face off and declaring war openly.

However, amidst such circumstances, Zhou Wangshen, the town guard, seemed to be unable to hold it together any longer; a few days ago, Xie Yuntian of the Sword Training Department had led a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Cultivation Disciples over to support him.

However, as a Qi Cultivation Disciple, she didn’t understand the specific situation very well.

After reading the Message Talismans from his three disciples, Chen Mobai immediately selected those from his good friends, Yuan Chiye and Yue Zutao.

As expected, they knew more and were more specific, and both had already been assigned by Chu Zuoshu to the frontline of Lei Nation.

Although the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain had yet to start a large-scale war, casualties among the cultivators from both countries on the border became increasingly frequent.

Zhou Wangshen was a man who couldn’t stand to have a grain of sand in his eye; at the start when he was personally guarding the border, he had fiercely fought with the town guard from the Rock Country several times.

With his mysterious Taoist Body, he barely held on to a tie.

However, not long after Ji Dingjin arrived at the front line, Zhou Wangshen could no longer hold on.

When facing someone at the late stage Foundation Establishment, he could still rely on his Taoist Body and magic artifacts to resist; however, when the Body Cultivator at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment took action, Zhou Wangshen was utterly defeated. If it were not for the life-saving Spirit Talisman given by Zhou Old Ancestor, he would have probably died on the spot.

Fortunately in a war between two major sects, apart from being overwhelmed by a higher realm, most of the time they could make up for the gap through the number of cultivators and formations.

After Zhou Wangshen was defeated by Ji Dingjin, he began to retreat, leading the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect back to a market that had been prepared with a Rank-3 Formation long ago, and held off the fierce attack from Shake Mountain.

Although Ji Dingjin believed himself to be invincible at the Foundation Establishment stage, he would not dare to enter a Rank-3 Formation alone.

Instead, he turned to lead the disciples of Shake Mountain and took back two Spirit Stone Mines and a Jing Tie Mine that had been taken by the Divine Wood Sect during the last war.

But not long after that, the Divine Wood Sect, with the help of a pre-prepared teleportation array, sent Xie Yuntian and twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators as reinforcements and launched a counterattack.

However, Ji Dingjin was truly formidable; being a Body Cultivator who had once attempted Core Formation and was at the Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, even Chu Zuoshu could only defend himself against Ji Dingjin by utilizing the traits of the Immortality Texts.

Although Xie Yuntian was the second sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, and his Green Sun Fire Sword Light was well-honed, he was still no match for Ji Dingjin.

After the Divine Wood Sect and Shake Mountain battled fiercely for three days and nights, Xie Yuntian could only rely on numerical superiority, forming a battle array to push them back within the borders of Rock Country.

Afterward, it was the skirmish between the cultivators from both factions at the borders.

There were also many rogue cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, creating disturbances. Together with the coteries of cultivators dispatched from Rock Country and Lei Nation, the area became the most chaotic place in the Eastern Wilderness.

Among them, there were also message talismans from Chu Zuoshu.

The message was for Chen Mobai to standby; should the order to wage war from the Two Old Ancestors comes down, he, as the foremost sword cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, would have to head to Lei Nation to suppress the situation.

Chen Mobai selected a few important responses to his messages, and then went to Divine Wood City to meet Chu Zuoshu in person.
