I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1687: Chapter 852: Obtaining Mo Bao Sword Scar (14,000 Monthly Tickets Extra Update)

After Yuxiao Superior arrived, the deep and lonely Treasure Trove gained some sounds.

During this time, Chen Mobai also attempted to communicate with the Jiulong Ding, the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s town-guard magic artifact, which was extremely polite to him.

After all, if Master Chengxuan passed away in meditation, then the next leader of the Dance Tool Dao Academy would be Chen Mobai, a pure yang superior with impeccable lineage.

As a fifth-rank magic artifact, the Jiulong Ding needed a vast amount of spiritual energy or supreme-grade spirit stones every year for upkeep, and all these required coordination with the school’s head and the Immortal Gate.

Yuxiao Superior even subtly suggested that Chen Mobai, with his talent, could apply to the Three Great Halls for co-study with the Jiulong Ding.

At the Immortal Gate, though many fifth-rank magic artifacts are nurtured within various Daoist Academies’ scholarly mansions, resources like spiritual energy and spirit stones are allocated from above, so prior reporting to the Three Great Halls is necessary for usage or co-study.

Given Chen Mobai’s current authority, there were few things with the Three Great Halls that he could not accomplish.

He was indeed tempted by what Yuxiao Superior had said.

After all, for other Nascent Soul cultivators, the most challenging issue was the upkeep of their magic artifacts, but he was quite affluent.

With the Jiulong Ding, in the Tianhe Realm over there, he would be truly fearless, even if Divinity Transformation doesn’t appear.

But soon, he began to think more about it.

Yuxiao Superior is a spirit of a magic artifact occupying a cultivator’s body, and her sudden suggestion might have ulterior motives. Does she perhaps also intend for Jiulong Ding to one day occupy his body?

Thinking this, the cautious Chen Mobai declined under the pretense of focusing on the Pure Yang Scroll and not wanting to be distracted by The Union of Differences.

For this, Yuxiao Superior seemed a bit regretful.

A month passed.

The fire spiritual power in the depths of the Treasure Trove continuously gathered and surged towards the Yuping Small Realm, but it remained far from reaching that crucial step.

Chen Mobai figured that for the two Nascent Soul superiors to both wait in the Treasure Trove was wasteful, so he suggested that they take turns standing guard.

Yuxiao Superior agreed.

They decided to rotate every six months.

Since Chen Mobai had already stood guard for two months, Yuxiao Superior kindly offered to guard the first six months.

Chen Mobai thought she might be searching for something in the Treasure Trove. After all, this place was initially the cave dwelling of Ancestor Yun Ya, and potentially some good items left by him might be hidden in secret corners.

Chen Mobai pretended to be oblivious to this.

…

Upon leaving the Treasure Trove, Chen Mobai naturally went to find Che Yucheng first.

Soon, the news reached Zhuang Jialan and the others, who also came over from the Red City Cave Heaven.

Because Master Chengxuan was about to undergo Divinity Transformation, the Treasure Trove certainly couldn’t serve as their Core Formation site anymore.

Chen Mobai asked if they had a second choice.

Ming Yuhua said the First Military Factory was also situated over a fourth-order fire vein, and if he applied upon returning, the unit would surely allocate the best spiritual energy for him.

Yunyang Bing planned to return home, where there was a rank-3 fire vein, but he could set up a Spirit Gathering Array himself, and with the superior-quality spirit stones given by Chen Mobai, the spiritual energy would surely suffice.

As for this, Chen Mobai showed support by specifically informing the factory manager of the First Military Factory and the city lord of Yunyang Bing’s hometown.

“Old Chen, next time we meet, I’ll definitely be a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor. You can count on me sitting right behind you at meetings!”

Ming Yuhua was full of confidence as he departed.

Chen Mobai laughed heartily at this, and after seeing the two out through the door, he inquired about Zhuang Jialan.

“Superior, I feel my accumulation isn’t enough yet…”

Zhuang Jialan expressed the intention of postponing her Core Formation.

In her mind, she thought that Chen Mobai would be undoubtedly busy with various matters these days, so she decided to stay to help bear some responsibilities. Once the outcome of Master Chengxuan’s Divinity Transformation was clear, she would then proceed with Core Formation.

After listening, Chen Mobai nodded and then instructed her to inform the department heads in the first building’s offices to convene for a meeting.

Shortly, the Daoist Academy’s senior officials who remained at Crimson Mountain gathered in the meeting room, where Chen Mobai occupied the main seat and spoke about the situation within the Treasure Trove.

News of Yuxiao Superior’s arrival was also received firsthand from Chen Mobai by everyone.

The fact that all Nascent Souls from the Weapon Dancing Sect were in Crimson Mountain allowed the attendees to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Classes for students must continue as usual without any delays, though they should be emphasized not to go into deep seclusion.”

“If any students wish to establish the Foundation during this period, efforts should be made to arrange for them to do so elsewhere.”

“Although Red City Cave Heaven is quite distant from here, it is still connected through lineage. Apart from the residents in the city, don’t forget about Pure Yang Academy.”

Chen Mobai always conducted himself correctly. Even if there had been clashes with the Pure Yang Academy, he still ensured to inform them about matters that could potentially affect the cultivators’ entire lives.

After the meeting concluded, everyone dispersed one by one.

The True Person of The Sword Control Department, Zuo Gong, seemed to want to say something but ultimately left after hesitating for a while.

“They have the Immortal Sect Sword Art and Ancestor Baiguang’s Mo Bao Sword Scar, wanting you to take a look. However, if you don’t bring it up yourself, they’re too embarrassed to mention, scared of being accused of currying favor with you.”

Che Yucheng remained behind and explained the underlying reason.

Chen Mobai couldn’t help but chuckle at this.

He had almost forgotten about this matter.

Back when he first heard about it at the academy, he was quite eager.

But now, given his current realm and age, he had come to see things differently.

Chen Mobai understood well that he didn’t possess the talent; rather than wasting those precious opportunities after watching, it would be better to leave them for the true seeds of sword cultivation at the academy. Perhaps among the juniors, there might be a student who could achieve the ultimate Sword Dao and become a pillar of the Dance Tool Dao Academy in the future.

After all, he knew that those two items retained by the Sword Control Department were the understanding of the Immortal Sect Sword Art by the third-generation Kaiyuan Hall Master, and the Sword Dao Realm of Ancestor Baiguang.

Both were strongly personal styles of Sword Intent, useful only as references.

Moreover, with Chen Mobai’s current status, as long as he was willing to ask, the Immortal Sect Sword Arts of the three great halls were certainly open to him.

However, recently, he had been focused on using the Flame Lighting Technique to purify and refine his Divine Sense, aiming to elevate the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram to the Response Earth Spirit realm in the shortest time possible.

Comprehending the Immortal Sect Sword Art was, in his schedule, quite far down the list.

“I recall there was a Zha Jianbai from my cohort, with decent swordsmanship talent. The academy might want to consider nurturing him more intensively,”

Chen Mobai remarked, those who managed to leave an impression on him were bound to be outstanding geniuses.

Compared to him, who was somewhat of a counterfeit, Zha Jianbai was genuinely someone who embraced the Way with a sword and achieved Foundation Establishment, no less than Zhongli Tianyu.

He should also be preparing for Core Formation by now.

“Zha Jianbai is indeed excellent. Since graduating, he has been teaching in the Sword Control Department at the academy, now waiting for the Gold Yuan Knot Gold Pill. Next time, when the four great Daoist sects gather the ingredients, I will propose its refinement.”

Che Yucheng was well-acquainted with each teacher in the Dance Tool Dao Academy and fully acknowledged Zha Jianbai. If he could successfully form a core, he would undoubtedly become the next director of the Sword Control Department after Zuo Gong.

“Is it the ‘Repairing Heaven Institute’ that will be refining the Five Elements Golden Core Pill next time? Should I give Elder Yuanxu a call?”

Besides the Immortal Sect, the four great Daoist academies could also jointly gather materials for refining it, though which attribute to refine would depend on mutual negotiation between the academies.

“That seems a bit excessive; just giving Fu Borong a call should suffice.”

Though the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine was crucial for many cultivators in the Immortal Sect, at the Nascent Soul level, it was indeed a minor issue.

Chen Mobai nodded. After the call was made, Fu Borong expressed without hesitation that he would cooperate with Che Yucheng to facilitate this matter.

“The third-generation Kaiyuan Hall Master’s Immortal Sect Sword Art might not be of much use to you, but the Mo Bao Sword Scar of Ancestor Baiguang, you should contemplate.”

After making the call, Che Yucheng continued.

Chen Mobai, having already formed his Nascent Soul, was viewed by Che Yucheng as a swordsmanship genius. There was no need to comprehend the Immortal Sect Sword Art left by the third-generation Kaiyuan Hall Master, which was limited to the Nascent Soul level, as it wouldn’t enhance him much and might even lower Chen Mobai’s realm instead.

However, Baiguang’s was different.

It was left behind after her transformation to Divinity when she returned to the academy.

Chen Mobai, understanding Che Yucheng’s good intentions, nodded in agreement.

“Jialan, please ask Teacher Zuo Gong to come over.”

The nearby Zhuang Jialan nodded and left the meeting room immediately upon hearing this.

Shortly afterward, she returned with Zuo Gong.

“On behalf of Jianbai, I say thank you.”

Upon understanding Chen Mobai’s intent, Zuo Gong was also deeply moved.

He had watched Chen Mobai grow, witnessing his unparalleled swordsmanship talent, yet unfortunately, due to the need to strengthen the academy, he couldn’t devote entirely to Sword Dao; otherwise, he would at least be the second Ancestor Baiguang.

Now, even after attaining Nascent Soul, Chen Mobai still thought of using the Immortal Sect Sword Art to cultivate Zha Jianbai, further showcasing his broad vision.

Zuo Gong said, “This is Ancestor Baiguang’s Mo Bao.”

Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, stood up and respectfully accepted the rolled-up paper with both hands.

He knew he needed to thoroughly contemplate this for some time, so even if nothing came out of it, he could feign some enlightenment when returning it.

After Zuo Gong left, Chen Mobai also took his leave from Che Yucheng.

Che Yucheng asked, “Where are you staying? Should I make arrangements?”

Chen Mobai responded, “The wooden cabin from my student days is still there. Although the spiritual energy isn’t particularly excellent, it offers peace and quiet.”

Chen Mobai carried a fifth-grade Spirit Vein with him, making cultivation the same anywhere.

Moreover, it was an opportunity to check on Meng Huang’s recovery from her injuries.

Night had fallen!

After just ending a battle, Chen Mobai took a blanket and covered the exhausted and deeply asleep Meng Huang, shielding her somewhat disheveled form.

He then went to the balcony, breathing in the essence of the starry sky and mountain forest, and unfurled the Mo Bao of Ancestor Baiguang.

After watching for a long time, he set it down.

Indeed, he still couldn’t comprehend it!

Just as Qing Nu mentioned, this loquat fruit is indeed not very useful.
