I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 452 - 323: Thoughtful Disciple_2

Chapter 452: Chapter 323: Thoughtful Disciple_2

Just for this reason, there was always no Green Wood Evil on the shelves in Spirit Treasure Pavilion, as it was generally accepted as belonging to Xie Yuntian.

Previously, Yue Zutao had also reminded him of this matter.

Thus, when Chen Mobai expressed his intention to cultivate Sword Sha, the first person he needed to convince was Xie Yuntian.

Although Chu Zuoshu could use his blue blood with the Reward Virtue Hall to forcibly have the Green Wood Evil put on the Spirit Treasure Pavilion shelf, this would no doubt provoke animosity with Xie Yuntian.

This would definitely be detrimental to his future control of the sect.

If it were not for the fact that Chen Mobai is already considered Chu Zuoshu’s direct descendant, and has a great future ahead of him, being the most likely young genius to achieve Core Formation, Chu Zuoshu would have feigned ignorance and let Chen Mobai figure out a solution on his own, regardless of who came to him.

Even so, Chu Zuoshu decided to enlist Fu Huakun’s help in finding Xie Yuntian.

The Sword Training Department falls under the jurisdiction of the Penalty Evil Hall, and the master of the Penalty Evil Hall is Elder Fu. Xie Yuntian, even if he doesn’t give face to Chu Zuoshu, would still give face to Elder Fu.

During their time on Rolling Thunder Mountain, both Fu Huakun and Xie Yuntian, who rank only below Chu Zuoshu in terms of status, had personally heard Elder Fu’s profuse praise of Chen Mobai.

After the two of them found Xie Yuntian together, even though Elder Fu was currently out of town, Xie Yuntian had already figured out their purpose for coming.

While he could refuse outright, Xie Yuntian ultimately wasn’t so oppressive.

In the end, even if he practiced his Red Flame Sword Jue to the point of Foundation Establishment Perfection, at most he could only condense fifteen Green Flames Sword Sha. Right now, both Chu Zuoshu and Fu Huakun meant to leave him with enough to condense sixteen Sword Sha, sacrificing five for Chen Mobai, a Sword Cultivation Genius.

Respecting the face of Chu Zuoshu, the future sect leader, Xie Yuntian agreed to this the next day.

After that, the Green Wood Evil was put on the shelves.

Before it was listed, Chen Zhenwu, the rotating elder in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, was naturally notified in advance to avoid it being exchanged by others in the sect.

“Each Green Wood Evil costs 1000 sect contributions. Are you ready, junior brother?”

After finishing his tea, Chen Mobai proposed to exchange for the Green Wood Evil. Chen Zhenwu chuckled as he accepted his Sect Nameplate, deducted 5000 points with a mild shock after seeing the amount it held.

“Junior Brother Chen, you truly are a dark horse.”

Chen Mobai felt a bit weird hearing Chen Zhenwu’s response. After checking for himself, he couldn’t help but feel a mild surprise.

After deducting the sect contributions needed to exchange for the Green Wood Evil, it turned out he still had 16950 points left.

“Zhuo Ming has done a good job managing the spiritual fields of Xiao Nanshan in the last two years. I didn’t realize I had accumulated so many sect contribution points.”

Upon thinking it over, Chen Mobai knew what was going on. However, he still found it strange.

Out of the sixty mu of spiritual fields on Xiao Nanshan, all of it is used to grow Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and experiment with various hybrid spiritual rices. Only six mu of the spiritual fields can grow Jade Bud Spirit Rice and are supplied to the sect because their spiritual energy is thin and only Rank-1.

Even if it yields 200 jin per mu, it would only be a select 3600 sect contribution points over the past three years.

Adding to the contributions he had previously saved himself, and the sect’s 1000 points awarded for the war, according to his estimate, would be just enough to exchange for five Green Wood Evil.

But he didn’t expect that he had accumulated so many points unnoticed in his sect account.

“Master, in addition to the spirit fields of Xiao Nanshan, Elder Sister Zhuo also manages those on Small Yang Ridge. She hired a few disciples to take care of it. Last year, I accompanied her there to give rain and fertilize the soil,” Luo Yixuan, who was at Chen Mobai’s side, noticed Chen Mobai’s confusion and promptly moved over to clue him in on what was happening while Chen Zhenwu went to fetch the Green Wood Evil.

“Did the Spirit Plant Department not reclaim the fields there?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was somewhat stupefied. Logically, when he had moved to Xiao Nanshan, the fields manipulated by the Small Yang Ridge for him should have been reclaimed by the sect and reassigned to other disciples.

“Inspector Sun from the Spirit Plant Department gave Elder Sister Zhuo the spirit veins of Small Yang Ridge, with nearby two mu of medicine fields and twenty-six mu of the spirit fields. Officially, she has taken on the task of caring for the spirit fields of Small Yang Ridge. However, all the yearly yields are credited to you by the Spirit Plant Department.”

Chen Mobai was unaware of this. However, after brief consideration, he understood the motives behind this.

Even though there were many spirit fields on Giant Tree Ridge, not many disciples planted Spirit Rice. Xiao Nanshan’s rice growers are amongst the best in the Divine Wood Sect. If other disciples started working the fields in Xiao Nanshan after Chen Mobai had left, it would definitely result in waste and delays.

So, Sun Gaochang simply handed these over to his disciple. Zhuo Ming, this child, probably tried her level best to show filial piety and, most likely, harbored feelings for Small Yang Ridge. After all, prior to his Foundation Establishment, she had learned the methods of sowing, rendering the rain, exterminating pests, and harvesting Spirit Rice alongside him.

Thus, unbeknownst to Chen Mobai, the harvest of the two-acre medicinal field and the twenty-six acre spirit field at Small Yang Ridge were all recorded under his account.

In three years, he had unknowingly amassed quite a bit.

It was enough to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.

This disciple, she was too considerate and sensible.

Although not as tactful as Luo Yixuan, she was practical and needed to be prioritized for future development.

Chen Mobai felt his affection for Zhuo Ming had not been in vain. In return for her efforts, he had ventured out and brought back to her a Nine Ren Law Body and an Earth Master Heritage Book.

“Chen junior brother, these are five Green Wood Evils, please check them.”

At this moment, Chen Zhenwu came out, carrying a wooden tray with all five jade vials sealed with charm strips.

“Thank you, Chen senior brother. I need to go thank Chu Zuoshu and Inspector Fu, so I’ll take my leave first.”

After confirming there were no problems, Chen Mobai put the five Green Wood Evils into his storage bag.

“I’ll walk you out.”

Chen Zhenwu laughed and led Chen Mobai and his disciple down the stairs, where they unexpectedly ran into someone.

“I want to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.”

Standing at the door, Mu Yuan’s usually calm demeanor fluctuated slightly — after all, this was a matter of his life’s dao, even he couldn’t avoid feeling a bit restless.

“I also want to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.”

From outside the door, two voices echoed simultaneously; Yu Lian and Li Yixian from the Puppet department came in.

“The Foundation Building Pill isn’t available until tomorrow, you guys are early.”

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Zhenwu stepped outside to speak to Mu Yuan and the others.

Chen Mobai observed the three men standing in the main hall of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, seemingly set on waiting until the next morning. A thought crossed his mind and he greeted them with a smile.

“Yu nephew, I’ll be in Divine Wood City for the next few days. If you’re not too busy after you’ve exchanged for the Foundation Building Pill, you could come visit me. I have some insights about Foundation Establishment. Although they might not exceed those of our predecessors, they might still help you avoid some detours.”

The moment Yu Lian heard Chen Mobai’s words, his face lit up as he thanked him earnestly.

“Thank you, Uncle Chen. I will certainly come.”

Upon hearing this, both Mu Yuan and Li Yixian reacted differently.

Li Yixian especially, scratched his head, looking like he wanted to come listen as well. However, in the Tianhe Realm, such matters were deeply frowned upon. Unless directly invited by Chen Mobai, he wouldn’t dare to bring it up for fear of being seen as trying to steal knowledge.

Mu Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, but Chen Mobai could see a slight conflict in his eyes – a touch of eagerness, mixed with hesitancy.

Because of Chen Mobai’s success, they both took the Beast Foundation Building Pill very seriously.

As the only cultivator in recent decades to successfully establish his foundation by taking a Beast Foundation Building Pill, Chen Mobai’s experience could certainly light the way for them.

Even if Li Yixian did not dare to ask, let alone Mu Yuan who had fought with Chen Mobai twice in the Sect Tournament and thought there was some animosity.

Luo Yixuan, who left Spirit Treasure Pavilion with Chen Mobai, observed their reactions, her brow furrowed in contemplation. She carefully pondered the deeper meaning behind her master’s words, quietly learning on her own.

Next, she followed Chen Mobai to thank Chu Zuoshu and Fu Huakun for their role in acquiring the Green Wood Evil.

As it happened, the three of them were already together. They immediately opened the fine wine brought by Chen Mobai and enjoyed a hearty round of drinks.

Meanwhile, Luo Yixuan served the wine, carefully noting every word exchanged among these senior Sect members.

This was her unique way of navigating life, quite different from Zhuo Ming’s approach.
