I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 413: Chapter 306: Gold Core Makes a Move_1

After bringing the hybrid rice varieties to the cultivator’s lab and inspecting them with the most advanced Magic Artifacts, Chen Mobai eliminated thirteen types.

Among the remaining twelve, six were merged with the merits of Jade Bud Spirit Rice to create more vigorous Spirit Machines in the rice seeds, with hopes of developing a new Rank-2 Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.

One of those was indeed the gem ginseng rice variety, the source of Rank-2 Spiritual Wine.

However, these hybrid rice varieties still had to be sown and further inspected after they matured. At the same time, their cultivation process needed to be observed to see if they were suitable to be grown in normal Spirit Fields.

The spectrum results of the other six new types of rice showed a positive trend during inspection, but still needed to be planted to determine their uses.

When Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming were sowing the new rice varieties, Liu Wenbo had recovered from his injuries and came to see him.

An extra helping hand was naturally a good thing.

Although Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan were not as good as Zhuo Ming, they were still Cultivators and had both practiced water-related cultivation techniques, so they were assigned to irrigate the newly sown rice seeds with the Falling Rain Technique.

Chen Mobai, on the other hand, began brewing Spirit Rice wine from last year’s harvested Spirit Rice with Zhuo Ming.

Probably because the success of their Rank-2 Spiritual Wine had surprised the master and disciple, they decided to brew wine from every variant of hybrid Spirit Rice this time.

While making the wine, Chen Mobai specifically invited Yan Jinye, who was already very familiar with the process of adding medicinal herbs into the brewing process just like Alchemy.

When Yan Jinye arrived, she not only brought the two named disciples who had helped her last year but also brought along six disciples from the alchemy department.

Because they needed to brew various types of wine, some were suitable to be brewed with added medicinal herbs, while others were not. Each needed to be tested and tasted separately.

Zhuo Ming was delighted with this process.

After all, her South Mountain Shop had basically transformed into a wine store, but there were only two types of Spiritual Wine.

If they could brew a different type of wine from each of the twenty-five types of Spirit Rice, South Mountain Shop could firmly hold the title of the top wine store in Divine Wood City. They might even become the top shops in the Eastern Wilderness through Divine Wood Sect’s Fang Markets.

After about three busy months, the busiest spring of South Mountain’s year had finally ended.

After thanking Yan Jinye, Chen Mobai invited her and Yue Zutao to try some of the Rank-2 Spiritual Wine that they still had from last year.

“At Lonely Spirit Ridge, Elder Zhou arranged for personnel from the Spirit Vein department to mine the Void Stone. It was indeed this unexpected windfall that allowed Elder Zhou to secure the Core Formation Spiritual Material from outside the Eastern Wilderness for the Sect Leader,” Yue Zutao revealed something he learned from his master Chu Zuoshu, while they were half through their drinking.

“No wonder the Sect Leader is in such a hurry to abdicate,” Chen Mobai remarked, having realized why the Sect Leader was eager to step down. If he were Meng Hong, he would choose Core Formation over the sect without hesitation.

“Our Alchemy and Spirit Plant departments have recently joined forces to capture the ‘Void Ascending Immortal Mushroom’ from our medicine field. Apparently, it’s also being prepared for the Sect Leader’s Core Formation – they plan to turn a slice of the mushroom into Spirit Emptiness Tea,” Yan Jinye revealed, confirming that Meng Hong was about to prepare for Core Formation.

Chen Mobai did know about the “Void Ascending Immortal Mushroom”.

In the four years that he had spent in the Spirit Plant department, he had learned that the most precious among the medicine fields of Giant Wood Mountain were the seventeen types of Rank-4 Thousand Year Medicine Herbs.

The “Void Ascending Immortal Mushroom” was one of them and was among the top three in terms of value.

It was something that Elder Hun Yuan personally acquired from a large stockade in the Eastern Wu Region. The mushroom had already achieved spirituality, whizzing everywhere along with the earth Qi from the Spirit Vein. If not for the prohibition seal on the medicine field, the mushroom would probably have escaped.

During Core Formation, drinking a slice of mushroom brewed into Spirit Emptiness Tea could reportedly provide continuous vigorous lifeblood and essence, thus increasing the success rate a little.

Chen Mobai could only grumble inwardly about such a waste.

This mushroom was one of the main ingredients for a sect’s Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, and could also serve as the main ingredient for a Fire Elemental Gold Core and a Gold Elemental Gold Core.

If a group of sect Alchemists saw the Divine Wood Sect discarding the potential of the mushroom by casually brewing it into tea, they would probably pop their eyes out in anger.

After noting down this information, Chen Mobai asked Yue Zutao about the deficit of the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation.

“It’s almost ready to be wrapped up. Fu Xingzhou found out that two local Cultivator clans have pledged allegiance to Mountain Shaker Peak, jointly imprisoned Brother Luo, and forced him to ingest some kind of poisonous insect, leading to this farce,” Yue Zutao, who was Chu’s disciple and had almost been guaranteed the next Sect Leader post, had access to almost all the high-level information.

“And what about Brother Yuan? Also, isn’t this method too crude?” After hearing this, Chen Mobai found some contradictions. It was too risky for the local Cultivator clans in Lei Nation to imprison Luo Shupin, even if they had Mountain Shaker Peak as their backer.

For any forces that have long been struggling to survive between the two major sects, they wouldn’t resort to such extreme measures, even in desperate situations.

“Elder Brother Yuan’s report is similar. But like you, he is planning to investigate why these two Cultivator clans are so desperate to betray the Divine Wood Sect,” Yue Zutao replied. Chen Mobai was still frowning, as he still could not figure out the meaning behind this incident.
