I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1089: Chapter 597: Scepter of Azure Ripples, Tao Walker’s Ruler (4800 Monthly Votes Plus) Chapter 1089: Chapter 597: Scepter of Azure Ripples, Tao Walker’s Ruler (4800 Monthly Votes Plus) Chen Mobai read between the lines of Zhuo Ming’s words and sensed an underlying message.

Perhaps, in her eyes, being able to cultivate steadily within the sect and tend to farming was already the envy of ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness. There was no need to aspire for more.

But what she herself hadn’t realized was, in fact, after reaching Foundation Establishment, she harbored a hope to leave Giant Tree Ridge and see the world.

“Master, is that really possible?”

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Mobai spoke, a look of surprise appeared on Zhuo Ming’s face, and she asked in disbelief.

She also understood her importance. If her divine skill of All Things Spiritual Communication were to be leaked, even the force of Divine Wood Sect would likely be shaken for a while.

That was exactly why Chen Mobai wanted her to stay within the sect, and she complied obediently.

Of course, this was also due to her own lack of proficiency in magic duels.

Initially, it was also because she had refined the Ninefold Law Body that she could pass the sect’s trials with her formidable defensive strength, earning the Foundation Building Pill.

“Next month, your master will be heading to Rock Country to attend the first graduation ceremony of Longevity Academy. If you wish to leave, you can come with your master,” Chen Mobai said to Zhuo Ming with a smile, having him personally escort her assured her safety within the bounds of the Eastern Wilderness.

“Thank you, Master!”

Zhuo Ming hugged the mountain civet cat and nodded repeatedly, even muttering to herself.

“Longevity Academy is managed by my junior brother, right? The last time he visited, he brought me twelve types of spiritual rice seeds collected from Rock Country; he was very polite.”

“If I go there this time, as his senior, should I prepare some gifts in return?”

“What should I give…”

Chen Mobai listened to Zhuo Ming’s mumbling and couldn’t help but shake his head, immediately making the decision for her.

“Prepare two jars of good wine, a bag of spirit rice, and also take those two just ripe fruits from the Immortal Peach Tree.”

After hearing this, Zhuo Ming had a realization and agreed that these gifts were indeed very appropriate.

“This time your master is taking you out not only to experience the world but mainly because Rock Country has the most mines in the entire Eastern Wilderness. There, you should be able to collect enough ore to smelt into the All-things Altruistic Cauldron,” Chen Mobai revealed another motive. Of course, if the opportunity arose, he could also take Zhuo Ming to visit the place where she might be able to comprehend the path for Core Formation and accrue merit in advance.

Zhuo Ming listened and was filled with gratitude.

It was precisely because she had a rare teacher like Chen Mobai, who sincerely considered his students, that she was willing to devote herself to farming in Xiao Nanshan.

The next day, Zhuo Ming went to find the head of the Artifact Refining Department, Wang Tingbo.

And indeed, there she found seventeen types of ore she had not yet collected.

Although some of these ores were precious within the Artifact Refining Department, the person before him was a disciple of the Sect Leader, and Chen Mobai had personally sent a message using the Heavenly Communication Device just yesterday.

Wang Tingbo had no choice but to grit his teeth and sell these ores to Zhuo Ming at the standard sect price.

A month later, Chen Mobai returned from the Immortal Gate.

During this time, he had helped his junior disciple Jiang Zongheng refine a Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo.

For his four disciples, though his affection varied in depth, Chen Mobai was largely equitable in matters of material gifts.

A Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo was naturally allocated to each disciple.

After refining the Fire Jade Heart Lotus for Luo Yixuan, he began collecting materials to help Liu Wenbo and Jiang Zongheng design their magic artifacts.

The eldest disciple also boasted of inheriting Chen Mobai’s Sword Dao, demanding only one thing for his own Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo.

A flying sword would suffice!

Chen Mobai asked a few more questions, but he couldn’t think of anything else; all he got was a response: “Master, you decide.”

It highlighted a simple obedience!

Left with no choice, Chen Mobai had to work hard and, according to Liu Wenbo’s practice situation, crafted him a Dual Attribute Flying Sword of water and wood.

He named this sword the “Scepter of Azure Ripples”!

The materials used were well chosen so that in the future, if Liu Wenbo could form his core through the dual-attribute technique, the wood attribute of the Scepter of Azure Ripples would devour the formless blade water within, upgrading it to a Rank-3 Flying Sword.

After receiving the flying sword, Liu Wenbo was so fond of it that he was unwilling to place it in his storage bag, nurturing it day and night without rest. He had finally communed spirit with it not long ago, forging the necessary bond between a Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo and its cultivator.

Following Liu Wenbo was the youngest disciple involved in education, Jiang Zongheng.

As the most cultured among the four disciples and the one whose thoughts were closest to Chen Mobai, he quickly grasped the significance of a Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo.

While coming to collect Longevity Tree Sap with Chen Mobai, they had gone to his old home in search of the spirit tree from his childhood, to no avail. Afterward, he deliberately stayed in Giant Tree Ridge for seven days to ponder this matter.

In the end, he even drew a rough sketch, imitating Chen Mobai’s blueprints, adding some annotations, personal requests, and future aspirations.

His Lifebound Magic Artefact was a ruler!

It was seven inches and four parts long, over five parts thick, and one inch wide, and on the front were two words, named by Chen Mobai.

Tao Walker’s Ruler!

Chen Mobai wondered if every Artifact Refiner felt this way, but at least for him, after refining a Lifebound Magic Artefact Embryo, he was inexplicably eager to name it.

It was akin to naming one’s child.

The name “Tao Walker’s Ruler” also embodied Chen Mobai’s expectations for Jiang Zongheng.

He hoped that he could walk his own path with determination, keep a sincere heart, and, no matter what difficulties and trials he may face in the future, never waver and never give up.

For this disciplinary ruler, Chen Mobai went to Xiao Nanshan and chopped down the most essence-filled section of the Rank-3 Pure Bamboo.

Of course, he did this behind Zhuo Ming’s back.

Even though she wouldn’t have said anything even if she knew, for some reason, Chen Mobai just didn’t want to see her show an expression of reluctance.

Not informing her and chopping it down first was probably the greatest gentleness from Chen Mobai as a mentor.

That day.

Chen Mobai arrived at the Teleportation Array of Giant Tree Ridge, only to see Zhuo Ming already waiting there with a Storage Bag and a smile on her face.

Apart from her, there was another girl with a cold demeanor and snow-white skin, who was Zhou Bingyan.

Upon asking, it turned out that she had come last time to deliver the Life Stone, became good friends with Zhuo Ming, and upon hearing that the latter was collecting different types of ores, specifically gathered a whole bag of them in Sky Country and personally delivered them.

Among them, there were twelve types that didn’t overlap with Zhuo Ming’s collection, which significantly advanced the progress of her All-things Altruistic Cauldron.

This happened to be when Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal Gate to refine the “Tao Walker’s Ruler.” Upon hearing about the graduation of the first cohort of the Longevity Academy’s students, she also wanted to join the mentor and disciple to observe the occasion.

“Greetings, Sect Leader. My great-uncle has also recently wanted to emulate the Longevity Academy to establish a Sacred Purity Academy within Sky Country. He sent me to observe the graduation ceremony and learn about the academy’s advanced systems, and it happens that I’ll be traveling the same route as you,” Zhou Bingyan carefully explained after seeing Chen Mobai and coming over with Zhuo Ming.

“Very good!”

Chen Mobai simply nodded and said two words, then observed Zhuo Ming’s expression and, seeing her happiness, led the two women into the Teleportation Array.

Amidst the flickering silver light, the three of them passed through numerous Fang Markets.

In places too far away without a Teleportation Array, Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Cultivator, wielded the colorful clouds to carry them across the sky.

Soon, the trio arrived in Northern Abyss City.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

Outside Northern Abyss City’s Teleportation Array, E Yun, Yu Lian, Qi Rui, Jiang Zongheng, Ding Ying, and other Foundation Establishment Practitioners stood at the front, leading disciples from the Divine Wood Sect, offering salutations to Chen Mobai as he emerged.

“Stand up, all of you, you have worked hard these six years.”

When Chen Mobai last left Northern Abyss City, it was right around the time the Longevity Academy was just founded. Back then, Northern Abyss City already had a burgeoning trend, but overall, it was only equivalent to a small county next to the Immortal Gate.

However, upon his return this time, he found the scale of Northern Abyss City had suddenly expanded by more than threefold, hardly inferior to any Blessed Earth City near the Immortal Gate.

Chen Mobai looked at the scattered Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings over the mountains but felt a sense of desolation and emptiness.

He couldn’t help frowning slightly while E Yun, standing next to him, explained the situation with an embarrassed look on his face.

After tasting the sweetness of selling real estate, in these six years, he, the Town Guard of Rock Country, was incredibly active in opening up and selling Cave Dwellings.

Cultivators can build homes astoundingly fast, with the key being the plot of land and the Spirit Vein Aura delivered by the Large Formation’s main control in Northern Abyss City.

Thus, without the constraints of production capacity, E Yun nearly developed half of North Abyss Mountain into Cave Dwellings.

And the development of so many was not because he had made enough Spirit Stones.

It was because the original plan for Beiyuan Immortal City designed by Chen Mobai only allowed for so much land to be developed into residential Cave Dwellings.

In other words, within these six years, E Yun had developed all the residential Cave Dwellings that the regulations allowed.

However, this was a bit of overdevelopment because when Chen Mobai initially designed it, he based the scale of Northern Abyss City on the center of the entire Eastern Desolation Plateau.

Moreover, there are cool-down restrictions for the allocation of Rank-1 and Rank-2 Cave Dwellings, and among the Loose Cultivators with Spirit Stones, they are indeed a minority. Without prior experience, E Yun’s excessive development led to more than half of the Cave Dwellings lying empty.

He had thought about lowering the prices, but it caused the previous buyers to be extremely agitated, resulting in the desolate and empty landscape Chen Mobai saw.

“Sect Leader, would you like to take a stroll around the commercial district? It brings nearly a million Spirit Stones in revenue to the sect each year,” E Yun tried to compensate for the lapse by mentioning another major source of Spirit Stone income for Northern Abyss City apart from selling houses.

Despite the overdevelopment of Cave Dwellings, Northern Abyss City’s allure through a direct connection to Divine Wood Sect by Longevity Academy had still attracted the most Loose Cultivators and clans from the Eastern Wilderness to settle there. And they, in turn, drove even more Cultivators and even martial arts masters from the mortal world to come here.

The commercial district wasn’t overdeveloped, and with tens of thousands of people in Northern Abyss City, every store was highly prized and in great demand.

The annual store rent along with the transfer fees, property management fees, spiritual energy fees, and so on allowed E Yun to earn a million Spirit Stones every year just by lying down.

“No need, let’s head straight to Longevity Academy,” said Chen Mobai, who was now indifferent to the million Spirit Stones. Moreover, the commercial streets here, compared to those at the Immortal Gate, were just ordinary.

After his flat refusal, he led everyone directly to Longevity Academy on the outskirts of Northern Abyss City.

The graduation ceremony would be tomorrow, so Chen Mobai rested for a day in a room arranged by Jiang Zongheng.

“Here, try it and see if it fits your hand,” said Chen Mobai, handing over the Tao Walker’s Ruler to Jiang Zongheng, who respectfully received it with both hands. After trying out the Longevity Spiritual Power a bit, he quickly revealed a joyous expression.

“Thank you, Master.”

The Tao Walker’s Ruler not only perfectly met Jiang Zongheng’s requirements but far exceeded them.

He had never encountered a magic artifact that matched him so well.

“Eh, Master, the material for this disciplinary ruler couldn’t be…” Zhuo Ming finally noticed something. She opened her eyes wide with suspicion and asked.
