I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 896: Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit_3 Chapter 896: Chapter 496 Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit_3 Chen Mobai was truly sincere in what he had said.

Duanmu Longrong had also recovered from her shock by now, and as she looked at the handsome youth before her, she couldn’t help but click her tongue in amazement.

“So it was you who caused the tremors in the Crimson Mountain Spirit Vein for over a year. Here I was, thinking that the head of our academy had made a breakthrough in his cultivation,” she said.

There’s a small world within the Treasure Trove that resembles a serene minor realm, home to the most precious spirit plants and minerals that Dance Tool Dao Academy has collected over thousands of years. It’s also the location of a Fifth-Order Lower-Grade Spirit Vein and where Master Chengxuan goes into seclusion.

When Nascent Soul Cultivators break through minor realms, they too can trigger such phenomena, only on a grander scale. However, once isolated by a minor world, the effect on the Crimson Mountain Spirit Vein becomes similar to that of Core Formation.

“When I was cultivating in my hometown, I felt the opportunity for a breakthrough was upon me, so I returned to the Daoist Academy to give it a try, and to my surprise, I actually succeeded,” Chen Mobai explained humbly in front of the elders.

He had always been a very modest child in the presence of these seniors.

“Now I’m starting to believe you really have the Qualification of Deification,” said Duanmu Longrong, which made Chen Mobai smile slightly. She invited him into the stone house for a cup of chilled tea. As the cool, bone-penetrating tea slid down his throat, he felt his whole body shiver and his bones seemed to be cleansed, feeling extremely refreshed.

“This is Rank-3 Ice Fog Tea, specially provided to our Dance Tool Dao Academy, perfect for the sweltering conditions of this Treasure Trove,” she explained.

In the ten years at the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai hadn’t spoken to Duanmu Longrong more than ten sentences, but now they were talking as if they were good friends, sharing their experiences of cultivating in the Treasure Trove while sipping tea.

“If you wish to return to the Daoist Academy after your Core Formation, I could let you take my place here,” Duanmu Longrong suggested towards the end, an offer that was very tempting to Chen Mobai.

This was a Fifth-Order Lower-Grade Spirit Vein, after all.

Even for Nascent Soul Cultivators, it was an extremely powerful Spiritual Land.

“Does it come with any responsibilities?” Mobai asked, his mind still clear as he inquired about the key issue.

Duanmu Longrong replied, “After taking guardianship here, you cannot leave until someone willing to replace you arrives.”

Chen Mobai asked, “I have learned the Puppetry Technique. Can I use a puppet to go outside?”

Duanmu Longrong responded, “You can, but your real body must remain here to guard.”

Chen Mobai inquired further, “Guard what?”

Duanmu Longrong explained, “This Treasure Trove and the depths of the Jade Plate Heavenly Grotto within it.”

Mobai replied, “I’m still accustomed to being free and unrestrained, so I may not have the patience to do as Teacher Duanmu does.”

After some thought, Chen Mobai decisively declined the offer.

The Fifth Grade Spirit Vein was indeed rare, but compared to the vast resources of the Tianhe Realm, it just didn’t have enough pull.

He saw more potential in becoming a major trader between the two realms.

After Core Formation, he would have enough power to make a stand on the Immortal Gate side, and he could even start to legitimately trade in some items that previously were not ‘clean’.

With the resources of two worlds at his disposal, Chen Mobai felt that “Nascent Soul Formation” was not an impossibility for him.

“The guardianship term is three hundred years, and besides the Fifth Grade Spirit Vein, there’s also a Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit. That’s why I’m here,” Duanmu Longrong added, pointing towards the bright red Vermillion Fruit Tree at the center of the island. The tree was laden with fruit, but only the one at the top showed signs of ripeness, shining with a fiery rainbow glow.

A Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit takes one hundred years to flower, one hundred years to bear fruit, and one hundred years to ripen. It’s among the most precious Spiritual Objects of the Immortal Gate.

Aside from being a primary ingredient in refining Infant-Feeding Elixirs, consuming it alone could also enhance the efficiency of Nascent Soul Formation.

It was rumored that Master Chengxuan managed to form his Nascent Soul because he had consumed a Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit.

“If I guard this place for three hundred years, will I be able to obtain a Fifth-Order Vermilion Fruit?” Mobai couldn’t help but feel tempted as he considered the offer.
