I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1016: Chapter 557 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice Chapter 1016: Chapter 557 Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice Flower Country is located in the southern part of the Eastern Wilderness, with spring-like weather year-round and a pleasant climate.

Although it is a mountainous area, there are large rivers flowing from the Cloud Dream Marsh nearby, with abundant rainfall, which is highly suitable for the cultivation of various spirit plant medicinal materials.

In the early days when the Eastern Wilderness was opened up, members of Star Heaven Dao Sect participated, and after the successful opening, they chose this area to cultivate appropriate spirit rice and herbs.

However, due to the exceedingly remote distance, none of the elder cultivators from Star Heaven Dao Sect were willing to oversee it for extended periods, so ultimately they left the area for the native powers of the Eastern Wilderness to manage. They would just dispatch merchant caravans to take away most of the resources every harvest season.

The most famous among these is the Rank-3 Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.

This spirit rice is considered a supreme treasure for Body Refining Cultivators. Consumed over a long period, it not only refines the body and boosts vigor and vitality but also nourishes the Divine Sense. It’s acclaimed as the number one spirit rice of the Eastern Wilderness.

When harvested each year, it’s fiercely contested over by the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness.

The Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice is cultivated on the only plain in the center of Flower Country, over ten thousand acres of Rank-3 Spirit Fields, made possible by a Rank-4 Spirit Vein dispersed by Star Heaven Dao Sect in ancient times.

While Back to Sky Valley is nominally the ruler of Flower Country, all forces in the Eastern Wilderness know that they merely manage Flower Country on behalf of Star Heaven Dao Sect.

The Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice matures once every twenty years, yielding a hundred pounds per acre.

Provided that the rain and Spiritual Energy are plentiful and there are no disasters like locust plagues, Back to Sky Valley can guarantee an annual output of 50,000 pounds of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.

And of these, Star Heaven Dao Sect will take seventy percent, leaving only thirty percent for Back to Sky Valley.

Moreover, this thirty percent is only allowed to be sold within the Eastern Wilderness, as Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice is also considered one of the outstanding products of Starry Sky Commerce Guild. They aim to maintain an exclusive possession within the Eastern Land.

But even just thirty percent allows Back to Sky Valley to make a killing every year.

The price for Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice is ten pounds per top-grade Spirit Stone, amounting to an annual income of 1,500 top-grade Spirit Stones.

After deducting the cultivation costs and Spirit Field maintenance, Back to Sky Valley can earn three to four hundred top-grade Spirit Stones each year from Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.

“With a monopoly position while keeping prices within a reasonable range, your reputation in the Eastern Wilderness must be very positive,”

Before Core Formation, Chen Mobai was famously a sect-based homebody, not distracted by matters beyond the improvement of his cultivation. So, this was the first time he had such detailed information about the Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bopei gave a sheepish smile, neither confirming nor denying.

“Sect Master, when Back to Sky Valley had just become independent from the Five Elements Sect, they increased the price of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice by three to four times. Afterwards, Zhou Laozu and the others turned to the East Barbarians to purchase the Golden Cloud Rice, Fire Crystal Rice, and others. Once Starry Sky Commerce Guild came over to sell Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice themselves, they drove down Back to Sky Valley’s prices. Since then, the prices have remained stable.”

Gu Yan sent a sound transmission to Chen Mobai, revealing this hidden affair.

Originating from a family of immortal cultivators in Rain Country and skilled in planting spirit rice, she had a profound memory of the infamous flooding of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in the history of the Eastern Wilderness.

Because Back to Sky Valley was too avaricious at the time, and even Star Heaven Dao Sect found it unacceptable.

After Ancestor Hunyuan, the towering figure, was no longer present, Yan Shaoyin indulged in extravagance for a long time. When the Five Elements Sect split, he increased the prices of elixirs sold to both parties by several times.

However, later on, Divine Wood Sect and Five Elements Sect would rather waste time traveling to the East Barbarians and Dongwu to purchase the necessary elixirs and spirit rice than buy from Back to Sky Valley, thereby suppressing Yan Shaoyin’s momentum.

Moreover, as Back to Sky Valley is at the pinnacle of alchemy in the Eastern Wilderness, their produced elixirs are always the most expensive, generally beyond what ordinary loose cultivators can afford.

So in reality, Back to Sky Valley’s reputation in the Eastern Wilderness cultivation circle is somewhat negative.

But Yan Shaoyin managed one aspect very well, which is the quality of the elixirs produced by Back to Sky Valley. Indeed, they are the best of their kind in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

On the label of “quality elixirs,” Back to Sky Valley stands firm.

This is also the foundation for their status as a major sect of the Eastern Wilderness.

Along the way, Chen Mobai and Ye Bopei lightly discussed various aspects of alchemy knowledge, with the latter being amazed at Chen Mobai’s extensive understanding. In fact, for some issues, even with his knowledge as a Rank-3 Alchemist, he had to contemplate for quite a while to understand.

As for answering them, that was even more impossible.

“Sect Master Chen is learned and talented, while I am shallow in learning and understanding, truly ashamed,”

The cultivators of the Tianhe Realm highly regard someone who is versatile. After conversing with Chen Mobai, Ye Bopei believed that Sect Master Chen’s achievements in the art of alchemy were not inferior, at the very least certainly not worse than those of a Rank-3 Alchemist like himself.

But what he didn’t know was that all of Chen Mobai’s knowledge about alchemy came from high school and from soaking up information during his time with good friends Wang Xingyu and Qing Nu.

And this knowledge constitutes the basics of alchemy in the Immortal Gate, as well as the foundation of the entire Immortal Gate’s system of spiritual medicine and spiritual water.

Although Chen Mobai was not an alchemist, his understanding of the alchemy system was definitely above that of Ye Bopei, and even Yan Shaoyin.

Because the training of alchemists in the Tianhe Realm is through trial and error with batches of elixirs, growing through practical experience.

Their understanding of alchemy is limited to the specific alchemy recipes they specialize in.
