I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1665: Chapter 831: The Ambition of Zhou Ye

Chen Mobai handed a list to Luo Xue’er, who immediately took it.

She noticed they were all herbs and couldn’t help but show a look of confusion.

“Qing Nu is preparing to refine the Water Primordial Golden Core Pill and needs these herbs. Gather them according to this list and send them over to Donghuang Tianpeng Mountain.”

Then Chen Mobai explained the function of the Water Primordial Golden Core Pill, and Luo Xue’er listened with a face full of surprise.

She had never expected that the Sect Leader had already arranged a Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine for her.

“Thank you, Sect Leader, I’ll go look for these herbs right now.”

After thanking, Luo Xue’er hurried off to inspect the twelve thousand acres of medicine fields around Bright Mirror Mountain.

“Also, please take this Qinglong Ginseng for me.”

Chen Mobai stopped her and then took out a superior-quality Rank-4 spiritual medicine from Golden Wind Ancestor’s storage bag, which Luo Xue’er received respectfully with both hands.

Chen Mobai felt that this Qinglong Ginseng could act as the main herb for the Wood Essence Golden Core Pill, but whether it could be used, Qing Nu would need to determine.

Thinking about this, Chen Mobai asked Luo Xue’er to collect two sets of herbs according to the list.

For versatility, the Five Elements Golden Core Pill’s auxiliary herbs are mostly the same, occasionally varying, and can also be found over in the Eastern Wilderness.

With high expectations, Luo Xue’er set off to accomplish her task.

Driven by motivation, she took just seven days to gather all the herbs and came back to bid farewell to Chen Mobai.

Even though the journey from East Barbarians to the Eastern Wilderness is the safest area in the ruins, just to be cautious, Chen Mobai personally drew a Fourth Grade “Great Sun Sword Talisman”.

The Red Flame Sword Jue had long been practiced to the perfect realm by him.

The talisman paper and talisman ink needed for this talisman had also been refined over the years.

Entering the state of the Guidance Book, he completed it directly in one go, leaving behind a trace of spiritual power, which Luo Xue’er could activate with her divine sense.

After Luo Xue’er left, Chen Mobai was left without someone at hand, so he called Luo Yixuan back.

A month later, Zhou Shengqing returned.

“Junior Brother, you don’t know how lucky we were to go in time. Those bastards from Sun Bathing Sea are shameless, with Golden Core Cultivators personally digging in the core area…”

Zhou Shengqing recounted his experiences at Dove Mound Mountain.

With the respect of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he arrived there without anyone daring to block him.

However, upon entering, he found that the core vein had been dug violently by Sun Bathing Sea, and he learned from those remaining that it was Golden Core Cultivators leading over a hundred Earth Masters to dig.

Effectively, they had taken away the raw Spirit Stone deposits meant to be produced over several years.

Previously, due to supervision from other sects, Sun Bathing Sea didn’t dare to do this.

Now that Kong Sang Valley avoided going out after being beaten, and the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace members at Dove Mound Mountain were all killed by Sun Bathing Sea, Xu Yingsheng could dig as much as he wanted.

But once Zhou Shengqing arrived with the Five Elements Sect army, Xu Yingsheng immediately took the extracted Spirit Stone raw ore and directly used the Teleportation Array to return to Golden Crow Immortal City.

Zhou Shengqing was furious but didn’t dare to pursue through the Teleportation Array to Sun Bathing Sea’s main camp.

The only option was to first send people to seize Dove Mound Mountain’s Spirit Stone Mine.

“If that’s the case, we should also send the sect’s Earth Masters over.”

Mining such resources never involves sustainable development, as once mining starts, they’ll eventually be exhausted.

If Sun Bathing Sea could do it, then Five Elements Sect could too.

“Junior Brother, you don’t realize, that large Spirit Stone mine has been excavated for so many years, it’s almost hollowed out. Those bastards from Sun Bathing Sea took away the easily mined core areas, and even if mined afterward, there probably won’t be much left.”

Listening to Zhou Shengqing, Chen Mobai asked roughly how much could be mined.

“About a hundred million Spirit Stones.”

That’s called not much?

Hearing this, Chen Mobai didn’t know how to respond.

It could only be said that after capturing Bright Mirror Mountain, Zhou Shengqing’s understanding of resources had somewhat inflated.

A hundred million Spirit Stones seemed like not much.

“Let’s start mining, this Spirit Stone mine might still involve some disputes with Sun Bathing Sea.”

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Zhou Shengqing nodded immediately, then went out to rally disciples with Earth Master skills in the team to head to Dove Mound Mountain again.

Two more months passed, and Zhou Ye returned as well.

His mission was quite successful.

All sixteen Golden Core forces of East Barbarians greatly respected the Five Elements Sect and were willing to continue a friendly and stable relationship with them, following the previous collaboration with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.

Additionally, five forces bordering them entrusted Zhou Ye to present grand gifts to both Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing, expressing that they had long awaited the arrival of the Five Elements Sect’s army.

Chen Mobai checked and saw the gifts comprised various Rank-4 spiritual objects, including herbs and minerals.

One sect, Cloud Rain Sect, even gifted a pair of beautiful twin Foundation Establishment female cultivators.

It’s said they were the direct disciples of Cloud Rain Sect’s ancestor, possessing a unique physique that allows fire attribute cultivators to enjoy blissful harmony with them, making their heart and body feel at ease.

When Zhou Ye brought the twin female cultivators in, he suddenly saw Luo Yixuan, next to Sect Leader Junior Brother, gazing sharply as if like a knife.

“I appreciate the kind gesture; accept the items, but send the people back.”

Chen Mobai was not that kind of person. After hearing the origins of these twin female cultivators, he remembered the name of the Cloud Rain Sect in his heart, but he waved his hand for Zhou Ye to send them back.

“Yes, Sect Leader!”

Zhou Ye, naturally, obeyed the order. At this moment, he noticed that Luo Yixuan’s sharp gaze had slightly softened, and he roughly understood why in his heart.

“Sect Leader, representatives from several forces have come.”

After presenting the gifts he had brought, Zhou Ye mentioned another matter.

Those who came were essentially the sect leaders or chief elders, but naturally, there were no Golden Core cultivators.

These people from the Tianhe Realm were quite cautious about preserving their lives.

With the situation unclear, the top-tier Golden Core ancestors certainly wouldn’t come to take risks.

After all, the Five Elements Sect gave them only the impression of being “powerful” on the side of the East Barbarians.

Chen Mobai understood this. He believed that over time, his reputation as an honest and sincere gentleman would be recognized by the locals of the East Barbarians.

He personally received representatives from the seven forces who came over, all of whom were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Surprisingly, the Cloud Rain Sect represented by those twin female cultivators.

Chen Mobai spoke to them about some of the Five Elements Sect’s rules and the matters to be aware of during future cooperation.

These were essentially the basic business ethics from the Immortal Gate side, but to the cultivators on this side, they seemed to feel the Five Elements Sect was very sincere.

They all felt that the Five Elements Sect truly wished to establish and thrive in the East Barbarians, which is why they offered such favorable conditions.

The seven parties all nodded in agreement and signed the contracts.

The task of signing the contracts was handed over to Zhou Ye by Chen Mobai.

If Zhou Ye could achieve Nascent Soul Formation in the future, Chen Mobai planned to station him at Bright Mirror Mountain to guard.

After all, Zhou Shengqing was a Legal Body Nascent Soul; if confronted with Baiwu Ancestor, the truth would be easily revealed.

However, if Zhou Ye completed the Nascent Soul Formation, with the profound mystery of Primordial True Qi, even if they turned against Sun Bathing Sea, he would still be able to put up a fight.

Zhou Ye had, more or less, guessed this as well.

Internally, he was somewhat unwilling, but for the Infant Formation Experience, he nonetheless followed Chen Mobai’s instructions to do his best.

“Sect Leader, my family was annihilated by the Dongwu Sun family. If I succeed in my cultivation level in the future, could I resolve this grudge?”

Zhou Ye was willing to submit to Chen Mobai, but after a day’s work report, he voluntarily brought this matter up.

“How do you plan to resolve it?”

Chen Mobai asked.

“I would conceal my identity, go to Dongwu and kill all the Golden Core cultivators of the Sun family, and would definitely not expose the Five Elements Sect’s identity.”

After hearing Zhou Ye’s words, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but fall into thought.

After a long while, he shook his head.

“Dongwu has no grudge or enmity with our Five Elements Sect, and moreover, they have contributed to defending against the Cloud Dream Marsh monsters for the Eastern Wilderness coast. I will not allow the sect to do this. If you wish to seek revenge, then leave the Five Elements Sect and never return.”

Chen Mobai was a person of principle.

Even though he very much wanted to have Zhou Ye fully committed, he couldn’t use people from the unfamiliar Dongwu Sun family as a bargaining chip.

Besides, when he refined the Infant-Feeding Elixir and obtained Qing Nu’s Heterodox Golden Core, the Dongwu Sun family also gave him some face, and he remembered this favor.

“Yes, Sect Leader!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye left somewhat disappointed.

Although Chen Mobai had not explicitly stated it, the implication was already clear.

If he wanted to stay in the Five Elements Sect and obtain the Infant Formation Experience, then he couldn’t seek revenge on the Sun family. If he wished for revenge, then Zhou Ye would have to rely on his own Nascent Soul Formation.

Weighing the options, he quickly made a decision.

Certainly, it’s better to choose the Infant Formation Experience!

Although the grudge is important, achieving Nascent Soul Formation is even more crucial.

Moreover, if he achieved Nascent Soul Formation, even if he couldn’t actively take action, there would be more methods in the future to suppress the Sun family without Chen Mobai knowing.

After all, Zhou Ye knew that the various immortal cultivation families in Dongwu held a deep-seated resentment toward the Sun family; they only lacked a leading figure.

Once he attained Nascent Soul Formation, with an extended lifespan, he could fully cultivate those families hostile to the Sun family until the day the Sun family completely collapses and falls.

After figuring it out, Zhou Ye told Chen Mobai the next day that his feelings for the Five Elements Sect had deepened and he didn’t want to leave the sect.

Having said this, Chen Mobai naturally had to reciprocate.

He gave him a jade slip he had long prepared, containing insights from the Chaos True Qi Pill leading to Nascent Soul Emergence.

As Zhou Ye took it and viewed it with his Divine Sense, he was immediately moved by Chen Mobai’s clear, detailed, and intricate language.

At this moment, he finally understood why this Sect Leader Junior Brother before him had the title of Great Sage and Good Teacher in the Eastern Wilderness.
