I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 937: 516 Chapter 937: 516 “Greetings, Elder Chen.”

After entering the wooden hut, Xue Ting immediately gave Chen Mobai a grand salute.

“Niece Xue, you need not be so courteous. It has been many years since we last met, and seeing you succeed in Foundation Establishment brings me great joy,” Chen Mobai said.

Chen Mobai’s impression of Xue Ting was limited to the label of a disciple of the Snow-blowing Palace, but he was always gentle in his dealings with others. He reached out and a gentle wave of spiritual power surged forth, invisibly helping her to her feet.

“Reporting to Elder Chen, ever since I left Xiao Nanshan eighteen years ago, I have been constantly reminiscing about those times,” Xue Ting said with a touch of emotion after rising, which somewhat surprised Chen Mobai.

Has it really been eighteen years? He could not even remember when this disciple of the Snow-blowing Palace had come and gone.

“If you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit Xiao Nanshan more often. Ming’er will always be there,” Chen Mobai said with a smile. He intended to keep Zhuo Ming, his precious ward, in Giant Tree Ridge forever to protect her. Even someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root like Yin Qingmei couldn’t compare to Zhuo Ming in his heart.

However, this meant that Zhuo Ming might feel quite lonely, so having a friend from outside the Divine Wood Sect would be a good thing for her.

“Thank you, Elder Chen. This is a congratulatory gift from our Sect Leader for your Core Formation,” Xue Ting said.

Though Xue Ting contemplated seeking Chen Mobai’s patronage, she knew she needed to find the right moment to bring it up. After all, the level of trust between the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness wasn’t very high, so she proceeded with the gift according to her status.

Chen Mobai nodded and Zhuo Ming immediately took the gift.

It was an exquisitely crafted box of ice, slightly transparent, with a red and a blue halo shining inside, dazzling to behold.

Chen Mobai was quite curious and opened it, his pupils widening slightly in surprise.

As Xue Ting was representing the Snow-blowing Palace to celebrate Chen Mobai’s Core Formation, Kong Lingling had indeed brought out some items that matched the prestige of Core Formation.

At the bottom of the box were two intermediate grade Spirit Stones and above the stones lay a pair of crystalline jades.

The crystals were deep blue with a bone-chilling cold; the jades a warm, glossy red.

Having completed the mineral identification course at the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai recognized these items from the Tianhe Realm.

“Cold Ice Condensing Crystal, Thousand-year Warm Jade!”

Moreover, this Cold Ice Condensing Crystal was even colder and deeper in blue than the one previously used to assist Yan Bingxuan’s Foundation Establishment. It was clearly of Rank-3 quality.

The Thousand-year Warm Jade went without saying; it was also Rank-3.

This Cold Ice Condensing Crystal wasn’t of much use to Chen Mobai, but it could help Yan Bingxuan in condensing her Ice Soul Divine Light. She was due to return at the end of the year, so it would make a suitable gift for her, though he would have to think of an excuse for its origin.

As for the Thousand-year Warm Jade, it was compatible with Chen Mobai’s attributes. As he had taken Yan Shaoyin’s refined Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill for his Core Formation, some residual toxicity remained in his body, which he needed to cleanse through cultivation practice of the Flame Lighting Technique. The Warm Jade would assist him in clearing the toxicity more quickly.

“True Person Kong is very thoughtful. Please convey my thanks when you return,” Chen Mobai said sincerely, internally admitting that resources were indeed more abundant in the Tianhe Realm.

Such items were unavailable for purchase even at the Immortal Gate, regardless of Good Deed Points.

Chen Mobai continued to chat with Xue Ting, but as the sky darkened, Zhuo Ming spoke up.

“Master, Sister Xue also specially purchased some grain seeds from the Snow-blowing Palace as her personal gift to congratulate you on your Core Formation,” said Zhuo Ming.

Sure enough, when Chen Mobai heard about the grain seeds, his eyes lit up.

Among the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, he truly loved farming alone.

On Xiao Nanshan, despite Zhuo Ming’s All Things Spiritual Rhinoceros ability to crossbreed three types of Rank-2 Spirit Rice, they couldn’t develop Rank-3 Spirit Rice.

Chen Mobai knew this was due to a lack of variety in their experiments. With the addition of grain seeds from the territory of Snow Country, they could attempt over a hundred more crossbreeding experiments, potentially producing Rank-3 Spirit Rice.

“Oh? Is that so?”

Chen Mobai excitedly took the large box of well-separated seeds from Xue Ting, carefully picking up each seed and holding it in his palm, using his divine sense to feel the dormant vitality hidden within.

All were meticulously selected, full and plump seeds.

“Niece Xue has been very considerate,” Chen Mobai said, satisfied as he accepted the box of seeds while continuously nodding in praise to Xue Ting.

“If Elder Chen is happy, then Xue Ting is also happy,” Xue Ting said.

“Hahaha, let’s go, let’s go to Xiao Nanshan,” laughed Chen Mobai.

After receiving the new seeds, he completely put aside the Cold Ice Condensing Crystal and the Thousand-year Warm Jade, eagerly taking Zhuo Ming and Xue Ting toward Xiao Nanshan.

By the time the three of them arrived, dusk was falling.

But Zhuo Ming was quick to ready two mu of the Spirit Field and began sowing the seeds handed to her by Chen Mobai using the most suitable methods. Xue Ting, alongside her, rolled up her palace dress sleeves and adeptly used a hoe and other spiritual tools from her storage bag to help.

Chen Mobai naturally gave instructions from the sidelines.

Although he had reached Core Formation, his skill in Spirit Plant cultivation had been completely surpassed by Zhuo Ming.

Zhuo Ming’s All Things Spiritual Communication divine skill had allowed her to integrate all the teachings of the Divine Wood Sect’s Spirit Plant Masters over the years, making her a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master.

Whenever the Spirit Plant Department encountered any precious and withering herbs over the years, it was Zhuo Ming who resolved the issues.

After completing his ten-year Town Guard duty in Jian Country, Chu Zuoshu even proposed that Zhuo Ming succeed him in holding the golden flame.
