I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 720: Chapter 430 Great Harvest_2

Zhou Shengqing nodded his head, agreeing with Fu Zongjue’s decision, and then had the latter’s puppet body run to his Everlife Wood and bring back a wooden box.

Chen Mobai took the box and opened it to find a book and a golden talisman within. The talisman carried spiritual patterns that resembled flames and shimmered with a dazzling golden light that was blinding to look directly at it.

“This is the Golden Flame Sword Talisman, a rank-3 top-level protective talisman given to me by my master Hun Yuan. If a Golden Core cultivator were to receive a hit from it without proper protection, they may be severely injured or even perish.”

“I originally had five of these, but have used four over the past century. The Golden Core cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness are now largely aware that I have this tool, so they are all on their guard. This last one is not much use to me anymore, so I’ll give it to you.”

“The book is the Red Flame Sword Jue, personally annotated by my master. It can be practiced to the realm of Perfect Core Formation. It also includes his insights into the construction of sword talismans from rank-1 to rank-4, so I’ll give this to you too.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Zuoshu, who was on the side, inevitably showed a shocked expression on his face.

In the Eastern Wilderness, giving a junior the items bestowed upon oneself by one’s master signified accepting the junior as their own disciple—and not just any disciple, but one from the closest and most legitimate line.

Unfortunately, Chen Mobai was not familiar with the customs of the Eastern Wilderness. If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect, they would have bowed to Zhou Shengqing by now.

Regret showed on Fu Zongjue’s face. He also wanted this disciple, but having already accepted Hong He as a disciple earlier, he didn’t feel it was right to compete with Zhou Shengqing now.

Yet, to his surprise, despite happily accepting the wooden box, Chen Mobai did not pay homage to his potential master.

“As for the matter of the Fire Spirit Rice, you can handle it entirely. However, we need to curry favor with the Snow-blowing Palace recently, so give them some discounts appropriately.”

Zhou Shengqing was slightly disappointed seeing that Chen Mobai hadn’t prostrated, but he was someone who had seen a lot of storms in his life. He soon composed himself and began to issue instructions.

The recent grand strategy of the Divine Wood Sect was to take down Ji Zhenshi, annex the Mountain Shaker Peak. For this cause, everything else could be compromised.

Having received such great benefits, Chen Mobai naturally had no objections and nodded enthusiastically.

At this moment, Fu Zongjue gave him ten more top-grade spirit stones, which made Chen Mobai overjoyed, as this meant he had enough top-grade spirit stones to feed the Purple Electric Sword for a long time.

“Respected Elder Fu, there’s actually another matter…”

Before leaving, Chen Mobai seized the opportunity to bring up the Art of Longevity Puppetry, expressing his desire to see the blueprint of the Rank-4 Longevity Dragon puppet.

“These are my insights into puppetry, involving blueprints for puppets from Rank-1 to Rank-4. However, despite your extraordinary talent, the blueprint for the Rank-4 Little Azure Dragon is too complex. With your current realm, it’s better not to waste your energy on it.”

Hearing his request, Fu Zongjue, who now found Chen Mobai to be particularly pleasing to the eye, did not hesitate to give him the insights on puppetry he had compiled over the years.

“Many thanks, Elder Fu. I was just curious.”

Having received more than what he wanted, Chen Mobai left the Shenmu Hall with deep satisfaction. Afterwards, he swiftly proceeded to the White Moon Market via the teleportation array.

“Elder Lan, it’s done.”

Upon his return, Chen Mobai did not leave Lan Lingping in suspense and directly relayed the good news. Lan Lingping looked delighted upon hearing it.

“This year, I have 1500 stones of Fire Spirit Rice on Xiao Nanshan. Elder Lan, if you need it, I can sell it to you at market price.”

“In that case, I’ll immediately arrange for someone from the sect to come and pick up the goods.”

The two first settled this transaction. Being committed to long-term business based on honesty and integrity, Chen Mobai only charged Lan Lingping 15,000 spirit stones.

He inquired if there was the possibility of trading using top-grade spirit stones, to which she responded with a wry smile. The Snow-blowing Palace’s top-grade spirit stones were all in Elder Kong’s hands, leaving her only with the ability to mobilize middle-grade spirit stones.

That was also fine. After all, if Chen Mobai wanted to practice the “Six Solar Body”, he still needed 600 middle-grade spirit stones.

The 300 middle-grade spirit stones from before had already burned through all of his savings accumulated over the past years.

Now, the only spirit stones he had left were the top-grade ones.

However, it is the end of the year, and the runes sold by the South Mountain Shop within the Divine Wood Sect are about to be settled. According to last year’s income, there should be approximately 400 intermediate-grade Spirit Stones coming in.

Together with the 150 intermediate grade Spirit Stones obtained from selling the Fire Spirit Rice to the Snow-blowing Palace, as well as the contributions exchanged half a year ago from selling to the Body Forging Department, they would be enough to accumulate the Spirit Stones required for the Six Yang body.

“Here is the method for cultivating Fire Spirit Rice. However, this kind of Spirit Rice cannot stand cold and harsh environments. Therefore, you would still need to find a suitable Spirit Field within the territories of the two countries under your Snow-blowing Palace for planting.”

After receiving the Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai took out a pen and paper on the spot, wrote down all the crucial points for planting Fire Spirit Rice, and reminded them as he wrote.

After receiving the paper covered with writing by Chen Mobai, Lan Lingping was full of admiration for this young man who, though could make his mark on the Eastern Wilderness with his sword talent, was instead infatuated with agriculture.

The Divine Wood Sect is truly fortunate to have been able to recruit such a disciple.

“Elder Chen, my disciple, Xue Ting, has a great talent for spiritual plants. Why don’t we have her learn from you? When we plant next spring, she can gain some practical experience with you. As I’m planning to arrange for the disciples in the palace to open up a Spirit Field for planting Fire Spirit Rice, the formal planting will have to wait for half a year. The timing would be just right.”

After the trade talk, Lan Lingping suddenly made a suggestion. The veiled female cultivator sitting by the side, who seemed to have known about this, turned around and bowed to Chen Mobai after hearing it.

“This… ”

Chen Mobai looked at the Qi Cultivation female cultivator who bowed deeply to him, highlighting her back and waist curves, and hesitated.

There were many kinds of hybrid spiritual rice in his South Mountain shop, which were the fruits of his and Zhuo Ming’s labor.

However, after thinking it over, since he possessed the core technology, he had no fear of the seeds being stolen.

Furthermore, after Chen Mobai’s arrival in the Eastern Wilderness, he had always harbored a small wish in his heart.

That was to unify the Eastern Wilderness one day and transform it into a small Immortal sect where everyone has access to Spirit Rice and the opportunity to cultivate immortality.

If this female cultivator named Xue Ting truly has the talent for spiritual plants and can learn his agricultural knowledge, it would be a good thing for Chen Mobai’s future wish.

“Alright, let her coordinate with Wenbo on the transportation of these 1500 catties of Fire Spirit Rice first. When this matter is settled, she can come to the South Mountain with Wenbo, and I will make arrangements then.”

Chen Mobai nodded, while Liu Wenbo, sitting on the side, immediately agreed. Xue Ting, who had been kneeling and paying respects the whole time, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and got up to thank them after hearing his words.

“Chen Uncle-Master, Brother Liu, please do not hesitate to instruct us in the future.”

This was the first time the two teachers heard Xue Ting speak. Her voice was serene, and it was as if there was a sweet scent of osmanthus and the white pear flower as she spoke.

After completing the transaction, Chen Mobai exchanged a few words with Lan Lingping, then left.

Upon his return to South Mountain, he immediately summoned his two disciples and told them about selling all the Fire Spirit Rice in the warehouse to the Snow-blowing Palace.

“That’s great, I was thinking we’d have to distill all this Spirit Rice into wine…”

Zhuo Ming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; Spirit Rice couldn’t be stored for long, so she had planned to hire some people from the Alchemy Department to help in the next few days.

“Master is incredible, even solving this big problem in just one trip.”

Luo Yixuan expressed her admiration after hearing the news.

“This 1500 catties of Spirit Rice is too much to transport by storage bag. Therefore, we need to use Spirit Beasts to carry it to the White Moon Market. There, your senior brother will hand them over to the people from Snow-blowing Palace.”

Chen Mobai explained the details of his trade talks with Lan Lingping. Transportation is a major cost in large transactions, especially in the Eastern Wilderness where there are no vehicles; they could only use Spirit Beasts, making it even more so.

“Master, my family, the Luo clan, has fifty Spirit Camels, twenty of which frequently travel between Jian Country and Yun Country. If you write a letter, I can take it to the patriarch of the Luo family. He dare not disobey you, so I could guarantee to requisition those twenty camels.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan’s eyes lit up, and she immediately began to strategize.
