I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1319: Chapter 726: The 19 Districts of the Eastern Wilderness_2 Chapter 1319: Chapter 726: The 19 Districts of the Eastern Wilderness_2 Chen Mobai: “Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones per acre?”

Lou Xuelong: “Sect Master Chen is joking, it’s low-grade Spirit Stones.”

After listening, Chen Mobai silently lamented how these commerce associations were really too greedy.

To buy out using top-grade Spirit Stones, they really had the nerve to make such an offer.

If he remembered correctly, when the Five Elements Sect purchased the seeds for the Dari Purple Rice, the price was only one top-grade Spirit Stone per acre.

Chen Mobai used a tactful reason to refuse: “After all, the Dragon Pulse belongs to the Rock Country dynasty, and it is not my place to decide for them.”

Lou Xuelong: “Sect Master Chen is being too modest. Who doesn’t know it was your disciples and grandchildren who managed this unification of the Eastern Wilderness? Perhaps you think the price is too low, but that is something we can still discuss.”

Chen Mobai: “Three hundred years is too far in the future; who knows if the Rock Country dynasty will soon fall apart. Let’s discuss this matter after the Dragon Pulse has emerged.”

Lou Xuelong: “Sect Master Chen is in the prime of his life, and could easily protect the Rock Country dynasty for at least four hundred years. By the time the Dragon Pulse emerges, it would be more than sufficient. If this deal goes through, the Supreme Elders will surely be very pleased, and then your Five Elements Sect will be an ally of our Star Heaven Dao Sect. I will help you out within our sect, and securing an invitation to the Beidou Conference should be no problem.”

The Beidou Conference, organized by the Star Heaven Dao Sect, was a sales event aimed at attracting various major powers for trade, and guaranteed to offer a portion of Three Lights Divine Water.

Therefore, for those Golden Core Cultivators who wish to reach “Nascent Soul Formation,” an invitation to the Beidou Conference was something they dreamt of.

Lou Xuelong also knew that for Chen Mobai, who ruled over the Five Elements Sect of the Eastern Wilderness, only items related to Nascent Soul Formation could now move him.

So, seeing Chen Mobai’s lack of interest, he directly played his trump card.

Chen Mobai: “Can you get an invitation to the recent Beidou Conference?”

The Beidou Conference was held once every sixty years, and aside from preparations made by the Star Heaven Dao Sect itself, it mainly provided a trading platform for the top cultivators of the Eastern Region. Those who came and went were either those at Perfect Core Formation or Nascent Soul Cultivators.

And for these people, only Spirit Material Medicine of Rank-4 or above could catch their eye.

Chen Mobai didn’t want to purchase Three Lights Divine Water; he just wanted to broaden his horizons. If he was lucky, he might even stumble upon some top-tier Spirit Materials that were squandered here.

“That might not be possible. The invitations for the Beidou Conference in three years’ time have already been distributed. Now, only a few Supreme Elders have the authority to add more invitations. However, if Sect Master Chen truly wishes to participate, he could join our Starry Sky Commerce Guild, and I can bring him with me as part of our internal quota.”

Lou Xuelong proposed this with a sincere face.

The Starry Sky Commerce Guild often absorbed outstanding cultivators from among the six realms of the Eastern Region, such as Yan Shaoyin.

Chen Mobai might not have excelled in the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, but he was at least a Sword Cultivation Genius and the Sect Leader of the number one major sect in the Eastern Wilderness. Taking him in as a Guest Elder, they would be able to share in the resources produced by the entire Eastern Wilderness first-hand.

“By joining your commerce association, could I exchange for Three Lights Divine Water?”

Chen Mobai asked again. To him, that was the only thing from the Star Heaven Dao Sect that had any allure. If it was exchangeable, he was actually willing to spend some effort.

“Every one hundred twenty years, our commerce association puts a portion of Three Lights Divine Water up for internal exchange. The Guest Elder with the highest contribution at that time can exchange for it.”

Lou Xuelong replied, using the same tactic as Chen Mobai did with the Golden Liquid Jade Pill at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, making the people below struggle fiercely.

Next, Chen Mobai inquired about how to earn contributions within the Starry Sky Commerce Guild and the origins of the cultivators who had exchanged for Three Lights Divine Water in the past.

After understanding these details, Chen Mobai politely declined: “Sect duties already trouble my heart and mind; I simply have no extra energy.”

Although the Three Lights Divine Water was tempting, there were still plenty of materials for Nascent Soul Formation that he could collect, and it was not necessary to waste tremendous energy over something the entire Eastern Region was competing for.

“Sect Master Chen, won’t you reconsider? If you become a Guest Elder of our commerce guild, I can have the Ten Thousand Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in Flower Country managed by your Five Elements Sect. Furthermore, isn’t your sect looking to refine Heterodox Golden Pills? I can speak to Elder Wang and ask him to give you a discount on the costs.”

Lou Xuelong offered two conditions he believed to be very enticing.

After all, Back to Sky Valley made a fortune relying on Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.

But what Chen Mobai least lacked was Spirit Rice, and with Zhuo Ming around, the future supply of Rank-3 Spirit Rice would be unending. He shook his head and refused again.

As for Heterodox Golden Pills, was Chen Mobai concerned with the costs?

He disliked that the Star Heaven Dao Sect shifted all the risks onto him, who would be the contracting party.

The conversation between the two ended on an unhappy note.

However, Lou Xuelong still had some measure of diplomacy.

At least upon departure, he managed to reach a consensus with Chen Mobai regarding the matters in Flower Country.

Since the unification of the Eastern Wilderness could not be stopped, they might as well go along with it.

After all, the change in mortal reign had no impact on their ten thousand acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice.

Star Heaven Dao Sect did not hinder Flower Country’s allegiance to Rock Country, and thus the grand unified dynasty was established!

In the year 6531 of the First Era!

Jiang Zongheng, the Grand Tutor of Rock Country, led the General Duan Shuyu to accept Flower Country’s surrender and, after their triumphant return to court, King Zhao held a grand sealing and enthronement ceremony outside Northern Abyss City. Immortal Venerate Chen parted the clouds and personally descended from the mountaintop to the mortal world, bestowing the Gold Seal, Jade Crown, and King’s Sword, signifying the divine granting of imperial authority.

In accordance with the wishes of the Immortal Venerate, Rock Country was renamed the Great Zhao Dynasty. The original nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness were used to mark the boundaries, dividing them into nineteen prefectures, with their names unchanged.

King Zhao became the lord of all under heaven and requested from Immortal Venerate Chen the secret to immortality.

However, without a Spiritual Root, one cannot practice immortal cultivation.

Immortal Venerate Chen then granted three heavenly pills, which, when consumed by mortals, could strengthen the body and ensure a peaceful death at the end of a long life.

After the sealing and enthronement ceremony concluded, King Zhao returned to the capital, deeply melancholic.

Following the unification of the Eastern Wilderness, Jiang Zongheng had intended to return to Longevity Academy to continue teaching.

However, as the first grand unified dynasty of the Eastern Wilderness emerged and began to prosper, Chen Mobai asked him to stay in the mortal realm to perfect the newly established county system and usher in an era of peace and prosperity.

Jiang Zongheng accepted the order and then requested that the Sect establish Town Guards within each of the nineteen prefectures.

Although Divine Wood Sect’s seven nations under Eastern Wilderness previously had E Yun, Zhou Wangshen, and other seasoned Town Guards in place, the recently subdued territories were still a blank slate.

Since the previous nation’s Town Guards had performed well, Chen Mobai did not replace them.

According to the rules, if one in the Sect wishes to hold a high position within the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, a record as a Town Guard is indispensable.

Now that there were more counties, Chen Mobai simply allowed the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to recommend their chosen candidates for cultivation.

Among these, the key position was undoubtedly the Town Guard of the former Ming Nation, now Ming County.

For Hunyuan Immortal City was located there.

Despite Five Elements Sect now returning to the Sect, his relationship with Zhou Ye remained extremely delicate, and with Chun Yusu, the spy from Sun Bathing Sea, present, whoever would be sent as the Town Guard there must be an adept at judging the situation and skilled in diplomacy.

Chen Mobai scrutinized and chose Song Huangdae.

This disciple had trained for a while in the Formation Division and had already received the Array Master inheritance from Five Elements Sect, and it was time to put it to practical use.

Since Cloud Dream Ze was at war, it was temporarily impossible to go there and set up the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, so he decided to send Song Huangdae to Ming County for a decade of experience.

Of course, before finalizing the list, Chen Mobai also asked for Song Huangdae’s opinion, who expressed that he had no objections to the arrangements made by the Grand Ancestor.

Having arranged for Song Huangdae, Chen Mobai naturally did not overlook Han Zhiling.

He sent her to Summer Country, not only because the region was rife with volcanoes and abundant Fire Veins but also to have her keep an eye on Back to Sky Valley.

If Yan Shaoyin were to start “Nascent Soul Formation”, even with deliberate concealment, it would be impossible to hide the calamity of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Of course, Yan Shaoyin could also give up on Back to Sky Valley, which he had run for hundreds of years, to attempt “Nascent Soul Formation” at Star Heaven Dao Sect in East Yu.

But in that case, the chances of a successful “Nascent Soul Formation” would decrease.

Immortal Gate had conducted research showing that breaking through in a familiar place increased the success rate.

This too was one of Chen Mobai’s overt strategies.
