I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1244: Chapter 683: Golden Core Fifth Layer (19200 Monthly Votes Bonus) Chapter 1244: Chapter 683: Golden Core Fifth Layer (19200 Monthly Votes Bonus) Apart from the contribution value associated with various spiritual objects, there was also the value of cultivation techniques.

However, the value of this aspect would need to be determined by the Transmission Department after a detailed appraisal.

Moreover, if the cultivation technique obtained from the Talent Tree had already been developed by someone else, and submitted to the sect in exchange for contribution points, then naturally it would have no value at all.

When this new policy was announced, all Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had obtained secret techniques from the Talent Tree became anxious to contact the Transmission Department.

Because, according to the rules of the Divine Wood Sect, these were personal gains that one could keep for oneself.

As for this batch of Foundation Establishment Practitioners who were able to go in because of the new policy, most of them would surely choose to surrender their gains in exchange for contribution points or Spirit Stones.

After all, they were required to treat the deserts of the Rainbow Country pro bono for ten years, and it was certain that they would be short on various cultivation materials, so they would try by all means to save some Spirit Stones before going.

It was for this reason that the Divine Wood Sect suddenly had thirteen new Longevity Sect secret techniques.

Among them, three were specifically helpful for spirit planting—enhancing affinity with spirit plants, detecting the moisture in spirit plants, and aiding spirit plants in flowering and bearing fruit.

After receiving these, the Transmission Department set a contribution value for each spell that the sect did not have, used this as a reward, and then submitted it to Chen Mobai for approval.

Chen Mobai raised the contribution reward for the three techniques that were helpful for spirit planting, setting a reference for future exchanges, guiding a positive trend within the sect for farming.

After dealing with these preliminary tasks, Chen Mobai then reviewed the list of Foundation Establishment Practitioners who had applied to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm within the sect.

Due to the addition of the condition of ten years of sand treatment without compensation, the response was not as enthusiastic as it was during the survey.

But this was just perfect to cool things down!

Because there was the example of Chen Mobai who had attained Longevity Sect legacy in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, those Foundation Establishment Practitioners who were driven to achieve Core Formation, or those of older age, mostly wanted to take a chance in the Secret Realm.

Conversely, those Foundation Establishment Practitioners who were neither here nor there, after weighing the options, felt it was not worth giving up ten years of precious time.

Chen Mobai looked at the list; there were a total of twenty-six Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the first batch.

He felt that was too many, and was inclined to remove some.

But after thinking it through, these people had been accumulated by the Divine Wood Sect over nearly a hundred years. He might as well not play the villain and let them all in at once, which would save trouble.

After Chen Mobai gave his approval, the Transmission Department immediately acted on it.

The results came out quickly.

Naturally, what made Chen Mobai elated was that they had unearthed two portions of Everlife Soil, which he had designated as a strategic resource on the list. Once Sect Disciples discovered it, they must hand it over to the sect.

But no matter who it was, facing a price of one hundred thousand contribution points, no one would refuse.

After all, Foundation Establishment Practitioners would earn only three to four thousand Spirit Stones a year from taking on tasks for the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. This clutch of Everlife Soil was worth one hundred thousand, a deal they would gladly take even for twenty years of desert treatment.

Other items, such as Biyu Wutong Heart and Green-sun Fire, etc., did not have a mandatory exchange requirement.

The Foundation Establishment Practitioners could keep them if they needed, or if someone offered a higher value than the sect’s contribution points, they could also sell to others.

After all, this was what they had exchanged for ten years of their time.

However, some people did manage to discover Longevity Tree Fruits, and quite a few at that, four in total.

Two medium fruits, two small fruits.

Taking Yue Zutao’s precedent into account, all the Foundation Establishment Practitioners who discovered Longevity Tree Fruits chose to exchange them for contribution points with the sect, and not a single one kept any.

And for Chen Mobai, this was of course good news.

Because he could easily obtain large fruits using the Wood Spiritual Talisman.

Along with these, he now had two complete sets of Longevity Tree Fruits, enough to cultivate two Foundation Establishment Completion Practitioners with the Longevity Scripture.

However, there wasn’t such great external pressure on the Divine Wood Sect at the moment, so according to Chen Mobai’s signals, Yue Zutao sealed and stored away these Longevity Tree Fruits with a secret technique.

For this matter, Chen Mobai even made a special trip back to Giant Tree Ridge.

After finishing, he made a copy of those useful cultivation techniques and secret techniques for spirit planting and then called over Liu Wenbo. Together with the two portions of Everlife Soil, he sent them to Zhuo Ming, who was far away in the Rainbow Country.

After completing these tasks, Chen Mobai summoned Jiang Zongheng to inquire about the unification of the Eastern Wilderness, learning that Rock Country had taken down Rainbow Country, and the army of Jian Country was still stubbornly blocked on the plateau by Lei Nation.

However, according to Jiang Zongheng’s estimates, the balance would be broken within a year, and the Divine Wood Sect would soon face the final grand battle for unification.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was quite interested, and he wanted to see who would come out on top!

But at this moment, he felt signs of a breakthrough in his Pure Yang Spiritual Power!

Certainly, his Cultivation Realm was the most important. Chen Mobai had to entrust everything to Jiang Zongheng and then returned to the Immortal Gate to enter seclusion.

At the Top of Danxia Mountain, beneath the sky-covering Biyu Wutong, astonishing nature’s spiritual energy continuously converged and rushed over.

In the sky, clouds were dense, and faint traces of lightning could be seen.

If this were in the Tianhe Realm, cultivators would probably revere such celestial phenomena.

But on the Immortal Gate’s side, it was well understood that this was a phenomenon caused by a cultivator rapidly absorbing spiritual energy during a breakthrough, leading to a pressure gradient in the concentration of spiritual energy.

“Councilor Chen last broke through seven years ago, didn’t he? He has made progress again so quickly…”

“This is a sign of Qualification for Deification…”

“Perhaps in my lifetime, I might see the emergence of the first Nascent Soul Superior in Red Sandstone City…”

Chen Mobai didn’t hide the phenomena accompanying his breakthrough; after all, he needed to occasionally maintain his persona in the Immortal Gate. Thus, the Foundation Establishment teachers living halfway up the mountain were aware of it.

After reaching the middle stage of the Gold Core, each subsequent breakthrough in cultivation required more time than in the initial stage.

The breakthrough in seven years was still due to Chen Mobai’s external conditions being optimized and the enhancement from the Golden Crow Dawning Sun Elixir.

Otherwise, based on his estimate, it would have taken ten years to achieve the current progress.

After confirming that his Pure Yang Spiritual Power had been thoroughly purified by the Flame Lighting Technique, and the Dan Poison had all been cleared, Chen Mobai hesitated no more and began circulating the fifth layer’s heart method of the Pure Yang Scroll.

In an instant, the already surging nature’s spiritual energy became even richer. Beneath the Phoenix Tree Spirit Tree at the mountaintop, a pure and clear Spiritual Light faintly shone through the leaves, responding to the dark clouds and lightning above, dazzling to the eyes.

This spectacle lasted for a full seven days and nights.

Afterwards, the fluctuations of spiritual energy at the top of Danxia Mountain began to subside, clouds dispersed, and a light rain fell, washing away the overflowing heat from the breakthrough of the Pure Yang Scroll.

After the rain stopped, Chen Mobai, inhaling the fresh scent of grass and earth, felt light and comfortable all over.

This time for his breakthrough, he hadn’t consumed any Elixirs, simply holding two Top-grade Spirit Stones, and naturally succeeded.

This made Chen Mobai quite delighted since the materials prepared to assist in the breakthrough were extremely precious, and even with his status and position, it would be difficult to find more.

Not having used them this time meant he could be confident in his next breakthrough.

Feeling good, Chen Mobai activated the Echoes in the Void again to listen to the Phoenix Tree beside him.

This time he heard much more.

Alas, even though the tree was of Fourth Grade Superior, its consciousness was similar to that of a child: apart from rooted images at the mountain’s peak, feeding on the Red Sandstone mist and dew, and regulating the Fire Vein, the scenes it interacted with Shi Qing.

In its mind, Shi Qing was like its elder sister, guiding its growth and awakening its enlightenment.

Gradually, Chen Mobai heard traces of the Technique Shi Qing had taught to the Biyu Wutong.

This must be the Blooming Moment.

Chen Mobai immediately memorized it all.

Regrettably, his cultivation level was still insufficient, and the power of the Biyu Wutong, being of Fourth Grade Superior, was too overwhelming for him to perceive some of the Technique traces etched in the deepest parts of its trunk.

To this, Chen Mobai felt only a slight regret, because if he were to use Blooming Moment, he would need to be at least in the Nascent Soul Realm. For him, who had just broken through to the Golden Core Fifth Layer, it was still too early.

Anyway, the Biyu Wutong was right beside him. As long as he continued to improve systematically within the Immortal Gate, it would one day belong to him.

With such thoughts, Chen Mobai ceased the Echoes in the Void.

It took him another three days to recover his depleted Divine Sense and Spiritual Power. Once he confirmed his realm was completely stable, he left the mountain with a smile.

Although others within the Immortal Gate had grown numb to his unimpeded progress, after each breakthrough, Chen Mobai habitually shared the news with Yan Bingxuan.

Little did he know, Yan Bingxuan also had joyous news to share with him.

“I’ve broken through to the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment!”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai was also very happy.

The two were schoolmates; in the year Chen Mobai was about to graduate, Yan Bingxuan succeeded with her Foundation Establishment. It had been 38 years since then.

While she could not compare to the geniuses of the Four Great Daoist Sects, Yan Bingxuan’s foundation was very solid.

After all, she had also devoted some of her energy to improving her Ice Spirit Root.

From high school to now, her Ice Spirit Root had reached 72 points.

According to this pace, by the time her Foundation Establishment reached Completion, it would definitely be over 80 points, which could increase her chances of successful Core Formation.

“Congratulations.”

At Chen Mobai’s words, Yan Bingxuan’s usually cool demeanor revealed a rare soft and delicate expression, her beautiful eyes and brows instantaneously tender and lovely.

“I’m finally a little closer to you.”

This sentence made Chen Mobai, who was about to share his own breakthrough, fall silent for a moment. However, he soon raised his cup with a smile and clinked it with Yan Bingxuan’s, diverting the subject.

“I heard the Mysterious Frost Company made tens of millions in Good Deed Points in profit this year.”

“Yes, and it’s largely thanks to your Spirit Stones that we could maximize the effectiveness of those Essence Puppets, landing more orders for Killing Qi Essence Liquid…”

As they spoke of this, Yan Bingxuan’s face lit up with joy, and she began to narrate to Chen Mobai about the company’s development over the years.

In that time, the three academies, following his advice and support, had started to develop the previously neglected Yuanqi system.

Because graduates were guaranteed employment with decent compensation, many students from Red Sandstone City and Yu Wood City, especially female students who planned to marry and have children upon graduation, considered the Mysterious Frost Company their top choice for employment.

The two old friends, rarely opening up in front of others, took the opportunity to relax and share their hearts’ content.

After spending a lovely night with Yan Bingxuan, Chen Mobai accompanied her the next day to the Mysterious Frost Company.

Many employees were surprised to see their covert boss visiting.

“Here, this is what you asked for last time.”

Yan Bingxuan took out a sealed box from her safe and handed it to Chen Mobai. He accepted it with a smile before inspecting the company’s various laboratories with her. Afterward, he took his leave.
