I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 565: Chapter 374: Resolving Inner Conflicts (6k)_3

“Little junior sister’s talent far surpasses us both.”

Liu Wenbo took a sip of tea offered by Luo Yixuan, and as he recalled her ever-changing Cold Ice Technique on the stage, he couldn’t help but sincerely admire her.

He felt even in his prime, he might not be a match for Luo Yixuan.

“Yes, and I wonder when I’ll achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection.”

Zhuo Ming, who was sitting alongside, couldn’t help but sigh. She always considered herself as the one with the least talent amongst Xiao Nanshan lineage.

She was able to become a disciple of Chen Mobai due to good luck. She pledged herself to him during their time in Small Yang Ridge, and during Liu Wenbo’s induction, she took the opportunity to kneel and kowtow, which led to Chen Mobai, who was lacking disciples, reluctantly accepting her.

She completely agreed with Liu Wenbo’s words.

To her, in the Xiao Nanshan lineage, their master, Chen Mobai, was a peerless Sword Cultivation genius. Since the Divine Wood Sect splintered, he could even be considered one of a kind in the entire history of the Five Elements Sect.

Next is their little junior sister Luo Yixuan. Not only was she quick-witted, but her talent was also probably second only to their master and Yu Lian, who had already reached Foundation Establishment.

Then there’s the senior brother, a genius in cultivation, with a strong family background as support.

Compared with the other brilliant people of Xiao Nanshan lineage, Zhuo Ming felt very ordinary, even somewhat inferior, which is why she really devoted herself to the things she was good at—farming, brewing wine, and looking after the shop.

In her view, this was the only way to repay Chen Mobai for his teachings.

“Ming, you should continue your cultivation step by step. I assure you, in six years, you’ll be a true disciple and you’ll receive a Foundation Building Pill.”

Seeing Zhuo Ming’s lack of self-confidence, and knowing that in the Xiao Nanshan lineage she has the most outstanding Innate Spiritual Root Value, Chen Mobai could not help but reassure her.

It has to be said, in the eyes of his three disciples, Chen Mobai had a very high status already. So his reassuring words instilled much confidence in Zhuo Ming, she clenched her small fists and cheered herself on.

“Wenbo and Ming, help me prepare some good wines, after the sect competition is over, Xuan and I will pay a visit to the Sect Leader and others.”

The year was coming to an end, and all aspects needed to be taken care of.

Chen Mobai was to assume the role of Guard of the Founding Nation at the start of the next year. Although he wouldn’t need to leave the sect, the fact that he had this role was thanks to the effort of people like Chu Zuoshu, he would certainly need to give them a gift in return.

In the ensuing main sect competition, Luo Yixuan, having resolved her internal struggles, made rapid progress. She finished in the top six out of twelve, then in the top three out of the six. After two more rounds, she ranked amongst the top three True disciples!

Regrettably, she lost to the other two in the finals, merely claiming third place.

However, with this result alone, Chen Mobai was already very satisfied.

The reason she achieved this was mainly due to Mu Yuan and Yu Lian’s successful Foundation Establishment, along with Li Yixian’s failure to reach Foundation Establishment last year which caused him not to participate after getting injured. This led to a decline in the overall quality of the sect’s competitive performance this year.

Nevertheless, after this competition, Luo Yixuan’s name became known to all Qi Practitioners in the Divine Wood Sect.

She was the only female cultivator in the top three!

Luo Yixuan was a beautiful woman, with outstanding cultivation skills, and a strong background.

All at once, this little junior sister from Xiao Nanshan became the dream of many Qi Practitioners in the Divine Wood Sect.

When Chen Mobai took Luo Yixuan to visit Chu Zuoshu, Fu Huakun, Zeng Woyou, Weng Chuanyou, Xi Yisheng, and Sun Gaochang, surprisingly, these senior figures of the three halls and twelve departments all pleasantly exchanged a few words with her.

Xi Yisheng even secretly sent Chen Mobai a message asking if he could arrange a matchmaking between Xi Jinghuo and Luo Yixuan.

In response, Chen Mobai tactfully suggested letting it happen naturally. He wouldn’t interfere with the younger generation’s choices, as long as they agreed on the matter themselves.

Xi Jinghuo was also a good friend of Chen Mobai. However, based on his understanding of his friend, he was a person dedicated to sword training.

Approximately half a month later, Chen Mobai finished visiting all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators he was friendly with along with Luo Yixuan.

In that time, Zeng Woyou was in seclusion helping two ancestors concoct a batch of pills and didn’t get to meet him, but the fact that Chen Mobai had visited was a gesture in itself.

For those he was not familiar with, such as the Sword Training Department Leader Xie Yuntian, although he didn’t visit personally, he had Luo Yixuan make a trip to each and deliver two jars of fine wine.

No one dislikes receiving gifts.

After making the rounds, just as Chen Mobai was planning to return to Xiao Nanshan, an unexpected guest arrived for a visit.

“I am Liú Rǔzhòng. I have long admired your reputation, Brother Chen. Having just completed my duties at the Shenmu Hall, the Sect Leader asked me to visit and discuss with you regarding the handover of the Town Guard position of Jian Country.”

Liú Rǔzhòng was a scholarly-looking individual with an impressive goatee on his chin.

“So it’s Brother Liu, I should be the one to visit you.”

This man was the current Town Guard of Jian Country, and anyone who could hold this position must have an extraordinary background.

He was an official disciple of Fu Zongjue and was going to become the inspector of the Spirit Beast Department after this visit. The previous inspector had been injured in a battle with the Shake Mountain and felt that his time was running out, so he voluntarily resigned.

Within the Divine Wood Sect, those who could hold senior positions in the three halls and twelve departments were basically astute individuals who understood social settings.

Liú Rǔzhòng taking the initiative to visit goes without saying, he wanted to establish a connection with Chen Mobai.

Luo Yixuan immediately went to the Xiao Nanshan shop, fetched two jars of good wine from Zhuo Ming, and poured the wine.

“Regarding the seven cultivator families and five Fang Markets of Jian Country, this pretty much summarizes their conditions. If you want to make it easier, Brother Chen, you can just tour each market and inspect the sect’s shops. The people of the seven major families will come forward to express their intentions.”
