I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1433: Chapter 759: Rescue the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple_2 Chapter 1433: Chapter 759: Rescue the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple_2 “Master Yan is being utterly shameless this time!”

Chen Mobai did not mince words, directly mocking him in front of the entire assembly from Back to Sky Valley.

“Sect Master Chen, please forgive us. My master is willing to compensate your sect with five hundred top-grade Spirit Stones and one thousand kilograms of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice…”

He Jintong, facing Chen Mobai, the top sect leader of the Eastern Desolation, didn’t dare show any temper and began cautiously.

“Do you think I lack these things?”

The coldness in Chen Mobai’s words made He Jintong involuntarily wipe the sweat from his forehead, and he could only continue apologizing.

After Yan Shaoyin finished nurturing the batch of Infant-Feeding Elixirs, he guessed, from his understanding of Chen Mobai’s character, that Chen Mobai would certainly not want an Infant-Feeding Elixir with excess Dan poison. But as this concerned his own Nascent Soul Formation, he gritted his teeth, took the elixirs and directly used the channels of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to run over to East Yu.

He decided to rent the Rank-4 Cave Abode of the Star Heaven Dao Sect to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation, resolving to succeed or die trying!

If it weren’t for the fact that he had sworn a Daoist Heart Oath during the refinement, Yan Shaoyin would have even thought about taking both Infant-Feeding Elixirs with him.

In any case, he was determined to risk it all in hope that this attempt at Nascent Soul Formation would succeed.

Fortunately, Yan Shaoyin still felt some attachment to Back to Sky Valley, so before leaving, he explained the situation to his true disciple He Jintong. In essence, the instruction was to stall.

To delay until the result of his Nascent Soul Formation was known; if it was a success, then that’s wonderful, and he would reclaim all the indignities suffered over the years from the Five Elements Sect.

If it failed, then He Jintong could either directly submit to the Five Elements Sect or seek refuge with the Star Heaven Dao Sect.

Given their lineage’s Alchemy, both factions would surely be willing to accept them.

“You from Back to Sky Valley will mortgage a thousand mu of your medicine fields to our Five Elements Sect, then I will reluctantly swallow this affront.”

Chen Mobai offered a solution, upon hearing which He Jintong’s face shifted between hope and despair. The medicine fields were the foundational core of Back to Sky Valley, even back when Ancestor Hunyuan was around, there were no incidents of mortgaging the medicine fields.

However, given the disparity in power and the precedent set by the Snow-blowing Palace’s fall right before their eyes, wouldn’t resisting just give Five Elements Sect legitimate cause to raise their forces?

“Sect Master Chen, this is a matter of great consequence. Could we please wait for my master to return before we make any decisions?”

He Jintong didn’t want to become the eternal sinner of his sect, so he gathered the courage to speak these words in front of Chen Mobai, the sect leader of the Eastern Desolation’s foremost great faction.

“Hmph, do you think Yan Shaoyin will even come back?”

Chen Mobai said mockingly, causing He Jintong’s face to flush red, but ultimately he still managed to restrain himself, again apologizing to him.

“Well then, I’ll give you another choice. You should have the Alchemy Recipe for the Return to True Elixir that Yan Shaoyin refined last time, don’t you? You from Back to Sky Valley will collect the materials for three furnaces of these as compensation to me, and we’ll consider this matter settled.”

Upon hearing this, He Jintong’s eyelids twitched even more, as he opened his mouth with a bitter smile: “Sect Master Chen, my master used up practically all of our sect’s stored materials to refine the Return to True Elixir before. Even if we mobilize our connections to collect them now, we can at most gather enough for one furnace, three furnaces are truly beyond our ability.”

The Return to True Elixir is a type of elixir for enhancing the spiritual power of Golden Core late-stage cultivators. Originally, Yan Shaoyin had chosen this from Chen Mobai’s catalog of Alchemy Recipes, ruining two furnaces before finally succeeding in getting four pieces from the third.

Afterwards, Yan Shaoyin, with the help of the Return to True Elixir and the Nirvana Dan, advanced to the stage of Perfect Core Formation, ready for Nascent Soul Formation.

For Chen Mobai who is currently at the Golden Core Seventh Layer, this Return to True Elixir is especially suitable.

Moreover, the Return to True Elixir is a Third Rank Superior Grade product, well within Qing Nu’s capabilities.

“Since you can’t do that, then bring out a thousand mu of medicine fields for compensation.”

Chen Mobai said it casually, but He Jintong immediately changed his tune.

“Sect Master Chen, I will inquire with the medicinal material merchants partnered with our sect. We should be able to gather enough for three furnaces. It’s just that we might need to go through the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to order from the rest of the regions, which might take more time.”

He Jintong figured to delay as long as possible. Chen Mobai, however, saw through his intention at a glance. The main reason for coming this time was to pressure them and also to speed up and reinforce Yan Shaoyin’s determination for Nascent Soul Formation, so of course he could not allow Back to Sky Valley such leisure.

“Before the end of this year, the first furnace’s materials must be delivered to the Five Elements Sect; the other two, next year. If all the materials are not delivered by the beginning of the year after next, let Yan Shaoyin come to explain to me personally. If not, either compensate with another half furnace’s worth of materials for the Infant-Feeding Elixir, or mortgage the medicine fields of Back to Sky Valley in the Eastern Desolation Nineteen Prefectures to me.”

Chen Mobai issued the final ultimatum. Though his tone was calm, paired with his notorious reputation for obliterating major factions in the Eastern Desolation since his emergence, all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners of Back to Sky Valley felt a chill run through their spines.

He Jintong finally sighed and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

But even so, when Chen Mobai left, he was very “unhappy,” feeling that he had been played by Yan Shaoyin.

…

“Sect Leader, you seem to be in a good mood!”

On their way back, Gu Yan noticed Chen Mobai’s brimming smile and felt puzzled.

“The last Golden Core Cultivator in the Eastern Desolation who is not from the Five Elements Sect is about to become dust in history. How can I not be happy?”

Chen Mobai’s words left Gu Yan somewhat confused; she thought Chen Mobai had arranged for Rogue Cultivators to ambush Yan Shaoyin outside the Eastern Desolation.

Chen Mobai did not explain further and instead led Gu Yan to the Flying Dragon Pond Sub-mansion on the border.

A Rank-3 Green Charm Spiritual Tree had been planted here, and since it was Chen Mobai’s asset, Han Zhiling, who served as the Town Guard for Summer Country, would come every year to collect the fresh tea leaves from here and from Dragon Horn Trench.

However, last year, Chen Mobai designated this place to Zhou Wangshen, who was leading the former True Disciples of the Five Elements Meridians to condense the Five Elements Essence here.

When he came out of seclusion this time, he found a Message Talisman from Zhou Wangshen stating that he had condensed twenty portions of the Five Elements Essence, asking if they should be delivered.

Chen Mobai had returned from Back to Sky Valley and took a detour to check this out.

Flying Dragon Pond was a Rank-3 Spirit Vein, more than sufficient to supply these Qi Cultivating Disciples for cultivation.

Even tempted by the Foundation Building Pill, those former True Disciples who believed their path had ended were extremely diligent in condensing the Five Elements Essence atop such a powerful Spirit Vein.

Everyone wanted to seize this glimmer of hope, to attempt Foundation Establishment once again.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

Zhou Wangshen was surprised to see Chen Mobai in person and immediately greeted him respectfully.

“You’ve worked hard.”

While speaking, Chen Mobai took out a Jade Vial from his Storage Bag, which contained the Longevity Dew that he had Zeng Woyou refine.

Zhou Wangshen excitedly received it and then handed over the Five Elements Essence that had been condensed over more than a year to Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai checked it and found the quality to be fairly ordinary.

However, since they were just beginning to condense it, this was normal.

“Going forward, I will have Gu Yan come for the Five Elements Essence. If you need any elixirs, Spirit Rice, or other resources, you can also mention it to her.”

As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Zhou Wangshen courteously saluted towards the graceful Gu Yan behind him, who also returned a slight curtsy.

After they exchanged Message Talismans, Chen Mobai took Gu Yan back to Giant Tree Ridge.

However, on the way back, he deliberately detoured to the Tianpeng Mountain Sub courtyard.

He arranged for Gu Yan to liaise with the disciples of the Five Elements Sect there, while he himself headed straight for the summit.

Chen Mobai wanted to try and see if he could revive the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple.

In the flickering silver light, he had already teleported to the front of the ancient maple tree, which was over ten feet tall, with its trunk charred and devoid of branches and leaves.

Listening with Empty Valley Echo, he soon heard the spirit of the tree, nearly extinguished, and shook his head.

This Five-Cornered Ancient Maple could not be saved with normal methods of reviving Spirit Plants.

He wondered whether the Grand Spells of the Longevity Sect, Dead Wood Meets Spring, would work on it?

Before using the Grand Spell, Chen Mobai took out a drop of the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, diluted it a hundred times using the method taught by Wen Ren Xuewei, scooped a ladleful, and watered the roots of the Spirit Plant.
