I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1368: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K)_4 Chapter 1368: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K)_4 “So it turns out I was thinking too narrowly,” Chen Mobai reflected after hearing the explanation, feeling somewhat ashamed of himself.

Wangxian Peak, after all, was where Ancestor Baiguang resided, and his realm far surpassed Chen Mobai’s. Xiao Hei had been educated there since childhood, and the path of cultivation arranged for her was undoubtedly the most suitable and the best for her.

It seemed his concern had clouded his judgment, allowing him to see only what was before him.

However, this was also the greatest contradiction between the Sect of Realms and the Foundation Faction.

For someone like Xiao Hei, with a substantial background, pursuing a foundation was possible because there was no need to worry about anything before the “Nascent Soul Formation” stage.

It was different for a child from a poor family, where every resource for cultivation was fiercely contested from the Tianhe Realm, focusing primarily on elevating the realm.

Speaking of Ice Spirit Roots, Chen Mobai remembered his good friend Yan Bingxuan and suddenly realized something unsettling.

In terms of the enhancement of Spiritual Roots, he was practically an expert within the Immortal Gate.

Now, the combined sum of his Five Elements Spiritual Roots was absolutely top-ranked.

Perhaps only Wen Ren Xuewei with her Three-Element Heavenly Spiritual Root could briefly match his brilliance.

And he was confident that in the future, he would elevate it to an unprecedented level.

With the vast resources of the Tianhe Realm, he even wondered if one day, cultivating the Primordial Dao Fruit with a Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root would be incredibly smooth.

“Ice Spirit Root isn’t that a fusion of “Gold Water Spiritual Roots”? Wouldn’t that harm your Water Spirit Root?”

His Pure Yang Daoist Body required damaging the Wood Attribute to enhance the Fire Spirit Root.

If Xiao Hei tried to integrate to form the Ice Spirit Root, harming the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root that had just been enhanced to 80 points, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?

“It’s okay uncle, I still have half a bottle of Heavenly Realm Pure Water, and granny has calculated it. When my Water Spirit Root is damaged to 40 points and I take it again, it will recover back to the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root. In this case, my Ice Spirit Root can only be enhanced to around 40 points in a short term, but since I’m still young, I can just cultivate it well by myself later.”

Xiao Hei didn’t consider Chen Mobai an outsider at all and shared her most secretive cultivation details with him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately felt it was time for him to make a difference.

He started planning how to legally and reasonably ‘launder’ Azure Blood Carps from the Tianhe Realm and give them to Xiao Hei.

And also the Ice Marrow Pure Jade and Water Mist Ice Crystals from Kong Lingling’s storage bag—both heavenly and earthly treasures hugely beneficial for the Water and Ice Spirit Roots.

By the time Xiao Hei was ready for Core Formation, it would seem like they just came out of a Void Blind Box.

And the Water Spirit Beads—having given too few to Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo previously, it seemed he still had dozens left. Maybe he could find an excuse to string them into a necklace or bracelet as a birthday gift for her.

Chen Mobai reviewed all the spiritual objects related to Ice and Water attributes he possessed, devising plans on how to legitimately ‘whitewash’ them within the bounds of the Immortal Gate.

Was there not also a Water Attribute Spirit Fruit?

Chen Mobai recalled another treasure he cherished.

However, upon consideration, he decided to restrain himself.

That item wouldn’t be needed by Luo Yixuan for her Core Formation; better to save it for Qing Nu.

She suffered much discrimination within the Immortal Gate and might not be able to exchange for the top-quality Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine Golden Liquid Jade Pill. But he could probably arrange for the Water Primordial Golden Core Pill with his connections, and adding the Water Attribute Spirit Fruit, Qing Nu could avoid utilizing the base of her Heavenly Spiritual Root.

After all, besides Wen Ren Xuewei, who might live longer than he would, Qing Nu was the most likely to keep pace with his cultivation progress.

He still needed to avoid playing favorites.

And there was still verification.

After reaching Yu Wood City, Chen Mobai planned to find Shi Wanyu and inquire more carefully if the young girl before him was truly his daughter.

Chen Mobai had indeed considered secretly obtaining a drop of Teacher Xiao Hei’s blood and going to the hospital for a paternity test.

However, in the Immortal Gate, even though he was a Golden Core Master, paternity tests still required real-name registration and both parties had to be present.

Given Chen Mobai’s status, pulling some strings and leveraging his connections might allow him to conduct the test in secret.

But if he went down that path, a third party would become aware of the matter.

Any secret known to someone other than oneself is no longer a secret.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Mobai decided to abandon this idea for the time being.

If Shi Wanyu failed to yield any results, he would then seek Ren Xuewei’s help, even if it meant destroying her public persona, to assist with a paternity test at the Imperial Medical Academy.

Is she truly his own daughter?

With a heart full of apprehension, Chen Mobai chatted with the cheerful young girl opposite him, wanting to ask her about her views on her father, yet fearing he might hear something that would unsettle his Dao Heart, he ultimately refrained from raising the topic.

The two conversed freely in the private compartment, Chen Mobai trying to showcase his abilities, but Teacher Xiao Hei had long since had all her affairs arranged by Wangxian Peak.

It was only her decision to attend the Dance Tool Dao Academy during university, which was slightly rebellious, and her plan to return home to serve her mother after studying in the Sea Territory, that were her own choices.

All of Chen Mobai’s expertise in guiding cultivation and the like were useless to someone for whom the path to Heaven had been fully laid out.

While chatting, Chen Mobai realized he was somewhat unable to keep up with the girl.

The hot gossip and celebrity searches she talked about were completely foreign to him.

Because in his life at the Immortal Gate, he had been truly committed to bitter cultivation!

He did stay informed about the various affairs concerning his two scholarly mansions, governance of two cities, and even the Three Great Halls and the Four Great Daoist Sects whenever he emerged from seclusion.

But he was genuinely clueless about the trivial matters the girl discussed.

He was becoming a bit out of touch with modern life!

Chen Mobai admonished himself internally, deciding to make time to catch up on news and search trends from now on.

“Recently, Senior Sister Meng plans to return to her alma mater at Dance Tool Dao Academy, rumored to perform three songs, and she may even hold a concert in Red City Cave Heaven!”

Finally, Teacher Xiao Hei mentioned someone Chen Mobai knew.

“Senior Sister Meng Huang, right? I’m well acquainted with her. We attended Daoist Academy one after another, and coincidentally…”

Chen Mobai immediately began sharing stories about how he and Meng Huang had come to know, socialize, and ultimately cleared up misunderstandings to become good friends.

Of course, he omitted details that were inappropriate to share with a child.

“After my Core Formation, the friends who kept in touch were few, and Senior Sister Meng was one of them.”

“Whenever I went to Wangwu Cave Heaven to report, or she happened to pass through Danxia and Yu Wood City, we would always make time to meet.”

“We are the best of friends who truly understand each other.”

Hearing Chen Mobai’s story, Teacher Xiao Hei looked envious. She had made a few friends at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, but had mostly lost touch with them over the years.

“I really envy the lasting friendship between Uncle Chen and Senior Sister Meng.”

Chen Mobai listened and let out an awkward laugh.

Fortunately, it was then that the train arrived at the station.
