I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1681: Chapter 846: Handling Dari Purple Rice

After arriving at Liu Jia Mountain, Yin Qingmei, who received the news, immediately flew out to greet him.

Upon seeing his goddaughter, Chen Mobai also thought of the Haotian Mirror he had just promoted. It happened to need some time to integrate the Rank-4 spiritual materials, so he handed it over to her to help nurture it.

“Thank you, Sect Leader!”

Yin Qingmei took the Haotian Mirror in her hand, her expression full of excitement.

This is a fourth-grade magical weapon!

And in her hands, it could perform the Universal Illumination Divine Light, helping accelerate the growth of her Destiny Spirit Plant.

At this moment, Yin Qingmei was immensely grateful for calling him foster father back then; otherwise, even though she was a Heavenly Spiritual Root, she might not have received such special treatment from a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

After entering Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai went to check on the hundred acres of Dari Purple Rice planted here.

This was originally a collaboration with the Star Heaven Dao Sect. According to the contract, after maturation, it would be split in a seventy-thirty ratio with them.

Five Elements Sect takes thirty, and Star Heaven Dao Sect takes seventy.

Over the years, these hundred acres of Dari Purple Rice have started maturing gradually based on the order of planting, acre by acre.

In the warm spring sun, large swaths of golden-yellow rice panicles shimmered with a faint purple glow, resembling pearls adorning the green waves, gently swaying with the wind.

The rice panicles were drooping, the grains were plump, indicating a bumper harvest at first glance.

“Why hasn’t the Star Heaven Dao Sect sent anyone over for harvest?”

Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but ask Zhuo Ming.

According to the contract, during harvest, representatives from both Five Elements Sect and Star Heaven Dao Sect must be present to count and distribute the quantities on the spot.

“I have already informed the person in charge of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild in Northern Abyss City. They said the inspector needs to come from East Yu, so it will be slower.”

Zhuo Ming relayed the response he received.

“Sect Leader, two years ago when the first acre matured, Lou Xuelong from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild came to observe. His intention was to continue collaborating with our Five Elements Sect to plant Dari Purple Rice and even to expand the scale, developing more Rank-3 Spirit Fields from the Liu Jia Mountain Spirit Vein. However, following your instructions, I directly declined him, which might be related to this delay from the Star Heaven Dao Sect.”

At this point, Yin Qingmei added more information regarding the Dari Purple Rice. Previously, Zhuo Ming was only at Foundation Establishment, so whenever people from the Star Heaven Dao Sect came over, she was the one to deal with them.

In dealing with Golden Core cultivators, the Star Heaven Dao Sect definitely showed more respect.

The initial cooperation for the Dari Purple Rice was initiated by Lou Xuelong who approached Chen Mobai, as he detected a trace of Pure Yang Purple Qi within this spirit rice, leading Chen Mobai to agree to the collaboration.

It proved to be a wise move later, as Zhuo Ming learned from it and hybridized a new Rank-3 Purple Jade Rice. Using this new spirit rice, Fu Zongjue, Sheng Zhaoxi, and Nu Jiang all successfully broke through to the Core Formation Late Stage.

However, for the current Five Elements Sect, these Dari Purple Rice were no longer of use.

Although their effect might be better than Purple Jade Rice, the planting time was too long, making it less cost-effective than Purple Jade Rice.

Thus, according to Chen Mobai’s plan, once all the matured Dari Purple Rice of these hundred acres were harvested, the contract with the Star Heaven Dao Sect would be fulfilled, effectively resolving an issue.

It was precisely because of this that the Spirit Rice was clearly mature, yet the Star Heaven Dao Sect did not send anyone for inspection, leaving Chen Mobai quite dissatisfied.

He took out a Message Talisman left by Yu Shuji and wrote about the situation, activating it.

Half a month later, Yu Shuji personally brought Lou Xuelong and other members of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to Liu Jia Mountain to explain the situation.

“Sect Master Chen, please forgive me. My disciple was busy with the final preparations before Core Formation and has neglected his duties. I’ve already removed his position as head of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild’s East Barbarian region…”

Above the hundred acres of Dari Purple Rice at Liu Jia Mountain, as Yu Shuji finished speaking, Lou Xuelong immediately stepped forward to apologize to Chen Mobai.

In fact, Lou Xuelong’s original intention was to let the Dari Purple Rice at Liu Jia Mountain’s Spirit Field absorb more Pure Yang Purple Qi, enhancing the effectiveness of the spirit rice for breaking through bottlenecks upon harvest.

Simultaneously, he hoped to use this delay to negotiate another collaboration on Dari Purple Rice with the Five Elements Sect.

At that time, it coincided with Chen Mobai’s retreat for Nascent Soul Formation.

And after Chen Mobai completed his Nascent Soul Formation, Lou Xuelong received formal approval from the Star Heaven Dao Sect to return for Core Formation and had been occupied with collecting various spiritual objects for his Core Formation, genuinely forgetting about this matter.

“Since it was unintentional, let’s just forget it.”

Chen Mobai spoke calmly, deciding not to pursue the matter.

The group brought by Yu Shuji were skilled hands at harvesting spirit rice and soon completed the harvest of the hundred acres of Dari Purple Rice.

“Master Yu, what does this mean?”

Chen Mobai was surprised when he saw that Yu Shuji only took fifty percent of the Dari Purple Rice and couldn’t help but ask.

“Consider it an apology for my disciple’s negligence. I hope Sect Leader Chen will accept it.”

For the Star Heaven Dao Sect, even giving the entire hundred acres of spirit rice to Chen Mobai was not a big deal, but since they had similar collaborative spirit fields across the East Continent, it wouldn’t set a good precedent.

Yet Yu Shuji, within his authority, tried his best to satisfy Chen Mobai.

“Let’s stick to what was agreed upon in the contract.”

However, Chen Mobai shook his head and declined, fearing that ignoring the contract wouldn’t allow the tie to be successfully severed. Moreover, for him, these hundred acres of Dari Purple Rice weren’t critical.

Hearing this, Yu Shuji showed hesitation but ultimately complied with Chen Mobai’s insistence and took the originally agreed seventy percent.

“Sect Master Chen, from now on, my young disciple will return to the East Yu to prepare for Core Formation. At that time, my other disciple, Qu XiuXian, will be in charge here.”

Yu Shuji came this time, bringing along his two direct disciples.

Chen Mobai had some impression of Qu XiuXian as well; back when she was still with the Divine Wood Sect, she helped deliver many things from the East Barbarians, so he kindly nodded to her.

“From now on, I’ll be relying on Fairy Xiu.”

Qu XiuXian seemed to have just entered Core Formation, and her aura was still a bit unstable. Hearing the courteous words from Chen Mobai, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, she hurriedly returned the courtesy in a respectful manner.

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!”

After handling the matters of the hundred acres of Dari Purple Rice, Chen Mobai returned to Northern Abyss City.

Zhuo Ming stayed behind at Liu Jia Mountain to manage the newly available hundred acres of Spirit Field, no longer planting crops but instead nurturing and integrating it back into the Spirit Vein.

After all, Liu Jia Mountain previously had only Yin Qingmei cultivating, but now with an addition of her, two Core Formation cultivators would make the fourth-grade lower-class Spirit Vein somewhat crowded.

Not using Liu Jia Mountain’s Spirit Vein to supply the Spirit Field was also Chen Mobai’s intention.

After all, both Yin Qingmei and Zhuo Ming have the potential to achieve Nascent Soul Formation.

Chen Mobai was even considering relocating one of the women to Giant Tree Ridge, as the spiritual energy there was sufficient.

The grand projects planned forty years ago had all been completed; staying here would be a waste.

Yu Shuji and the people from Starry Sky Commerce Guild also accompanied Chen Mobai back to Northern Abyss City.

On the way, Yu Shuji discussed the prospect of collaborating again with the Five Elements Sect, as Dari Purple Rice can help break through bottlenecks, highly sought after within the Star Heaven Dao Sect below the Nascent Soul level.

“I’m sorry, Master Yu, my disciple has also formed her Core, and will be cultivating at Liu Jia Mountain from now on…”

After stating his reasons, Yu Shuji could only look regretful.

“Sect Master Chen’s disciple has successfully formed her Core at such a young age; her future accomplishments are bound to be exceptional.”

While speaking, Yu Shuji looked at his two disciples, Lou Xuelong and Qu XiuXian, both meticulously selected within the sect, excelling both in talent and character.

Yet, who knew that Zhuo Ming, several decades younger than them, would catch up so quickly.

It is said that Zhuo Ming had an average talent in her youth, only unveiling her brilliance under the guidance of Chen Mobai, the Great Sage and Good Teacher.

Seeing Yu Shuji trailing behind him, Chen Mobai could only invite him for a cup of tea in Northern Abyss City.

“Sect Master Chen, have you considered the matter we discussed last time?”

After sending his two disciples away, Yu Shuji immediately inquired about the issue.

“Powerless to help.”

Chen Mobai simply responded with four words.

“Our sect’s Great Elder, Star Pole Superior, has returned to the sect and wishes to invite Sect Master Chen to meet. Would you grant us this honor?”

Yu Shuji’s words caused Chen Mobai to pause slightly.

Wasn’t it Star Yun Shang Ren last time? How did it become Star Pole this time? Has Star Heaven Dao Sect reached an internal consensus?

“Sect affairs are numerous, and I’m unable to extricate myself. I beg your pardon.”

After thinking it over, Chen Mobai decided not to get involved, refusing again.

“Sect Master Chen may not know, but a hundred years ago, the only Nascent Soul Complete Great Elder of First Origin Dao Palace failed in his attempt to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm and has since passed away in meditation…”

Yu Shuji pondered before continuing to persuade.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai frowned slightly and reiterated.

“I truly am not the Taoist Child of First Origin Dao Palace. If your esteemed sect truly desires the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, you should directly discuss cooperation with the people at Mount Wudi; involving me will surely save more time.”

Chen Mobai understood Yu Shuji’s meaning; without a Nascent Soul Complete cultivator in First Origin Dao Palace, even with possession of the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, there would be no one to consume it.

However, since he is a fake Taoist Child, approaching him is indeed misdirected.

“Alas, upon Star Pole Great Elder’s return, his first task was to meet with the Dao Morale Sect Leader, and his second was to visit Mount Wudi; unfortunately, First Origin Dao Palace has sealed the mountain, leaving him unable to enter.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was even less interested in getting involved.

Even Star Pole couldn’t find a way in, so there was no need for him, the fake Taoist Child, to attempt it.

“Since First Origin Dao Palace sealed the mountain, only cultivators who have mastered Primordial True Qi can freely enter and leave the large formation of Mount Wudi.”

At this point, Yu Shuji added another sentence.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly understood.

No wonder they were insistent on finding him.

“As long as Sect Master Chen can help knock on the door, the ten thousand acres of Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice from Flower Country—Star Pole Great Elder said it can be used as a stepping stone and gifted to your sect!”
