I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1712: Chapter 876 Grand Ceremony (Additional Update for 22,000 Monthly Tickets)

“Connect to our sect’s Jiutianxian City.”

Just as Chen Mobai hesitated, Ye Qing spoke up.

“Thank you, Daoist Brother.”

Since he said so, Chen Mobai would definitely not refuse.

Severing contact with the Eastern Land is beneficial for quietly developing the strength of the Five Elements Sect in the Three Regions of Dongzhou Frontier, but once reaching the Nascent Soul level, most of the needed items can only be bought in the Eastern Land.

For instance, several main herbs for the Infant-Feeding Elixir, or even the herbs required for the Infant-Transforming Elixir and Infant-Accumulating Elixir, etc.

After absorbing the territory of Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, if the Five Elements Sect wants to advance further, contact with the Eastern Land core is essential.

With a large-scale teleportation array directly to the Seven Great Immortal Cities of the Eastern Land, at least the Five Elements Commerce Association can definitely thrive, and Yue Zutao wouldn’t have to spend over a decade on a round trip.

After careful consideration, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Having settled the most crucial content, Zhang Pankong took Chen Mobai’s map as he needed to conduct a field inspection of the locations to place the two large-scale teleportation arrays.

Chen Mobai immediately summoned E Yun and Yi Shaoqing from the Formation Division, with the former responsible for hospitality and the latter for professional matters.

According to Chen Mobai’s intentions, keep the previous medium transporting formation, and establish a fourth grade Spirit Vein on the outskirts of another side of Northern Abyss City, then place the large-scale teleportation array there.

The Five Elements Sect had already executed the task of using teleportation arrays to stimulate housing prices and various economic activities before, and they were much more adept now.

Originally, this matter should have been kept confidential, but Chen Mobai instructed E Yun to publicize it.

Soon, hearing that a large-scale teleportation array was about to be placed in a newly developed suburb of Northern Abyss City, many cultivator families and loose cultivators rushed to find connections to inquire and sought to reserve a house or shop in advance.

The housing prices in the neighborhood of the medium transporting formation were already at a level where even cultivator families found it painful to purchase, and many of the first batch of loose cultivators who bought them saw their assets appreciate five to six times.

Even if they were to sell this property, it would suffice for them to live a very comfortable and leisurely life in any of the major Fang Markets within the Eastern Desolation Nineteen Prefectures.

However, no one is willing to sell now.

As the influence of the Five Elements Sect grows, the housing prices in Northern Abyss City continue to rise every year.

Soon, using the pre-sale of houses and shops, the Five Elements Sect earned enough Spirit Stones for a four-meridian Spirit Vein and half the cost of a teleportation array.

Sun Huanglong and the cultivators from the forces of the East Barbarians witnessed the whole process from start to finish, all stupefied.

Is it really this easy to earn Spirit Stones?

In their territory, although they also have their self-built immortal city Fang Markets, many cultivators leave once they have accrued assets, preferring to find a Spirit Vein land in a small place for seclusion rather than staying long in the immortal city.

Only when they run out of cultivation resources do they reluctantly visit the immortal city Fang Markets.

Only those slightly powerful cultivator families and sects choose to settle.

Where lies the difference?

Those sent over for the grand ceremony were the talented leaders of their respective families or sects, and after visiting some residents of Northern Abyss City, they quickly realized the problem with their own situation.

They couldn’t guarantee the cultivators’ safety.

In Northern Abyss City, once you buy a house, if you don’t violate the rules set by the Five Elements Sect, the sect will ensure your safety against any threats.

Furthermore, the Five Elements Sect severely cracks down on rogue cultivators, relentlessly pursuing them to the Ends of the Earth, to the death; even if a Five Elements Sect disciple commits such acts, they are directly dealt with, without mercy.

Thinking of this, representatives of various forces fell into deep contemplation.

They understood their own limitations, occasionally colluding with rogue cultivators to commit robberies was certainly present.

After all, the profits from Fang Markets and immortal cities belong to the sect, but loot from robberies is their own. Moreover, even if discovered, as long as they share the stolen benefits with the investigating elders, they can mostly get away with it.

It is precisely for this reason that rogue cultivators are hard to eliminate.

Because many perpetrators are insiders.

The Eastern Earth Holy Land doesn’t mind these small matters, hence many cultivators are unscrupulous.

Having seen the positive atmosphere of the Eastern Wilderness, several figured they would return and imitate the Five Elements Sect, attempting to create a small Northern Abyss City.

Finally, the day of the grand ceremony arrived.

At the foot of North Abyss Mountain lies the core of the entire immortal city, a spacious plaza.

Chen Mobai, alongside Qing Nu, descended from the sky on five-colored clouds, wearing a red robe with a golden crown, exuding a charming demeanor; Qing Nu wore a green chiffon dress with a Feng Crown Xiatuo, looking beautiful.

Led by the Fengtian Sect cultivators, the two held incense burners, offering incense to the heavens and earth, expressing their reverence and prayers for blessings.

After the ritual to the heavens and earth, they paid respect to their ancestors; despite both parents’ absence, this rite was still indispensable.

Chen Mobai had long prepared tablets of his parents on the mountain, and together with Qing Nu, they performed the ritual towards the mountain.

Lastly, it was the ritual between husband and wife, signifying a shared heart and eternal unity.

After the ceremony, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu held hands and exchanged a smile.

At this moment, melodious music played, dozens of female cultivators with cold temperament and beautiful appearance, led by Xue Ting, performed an elegant dance; they were former disciples of Snow-blowing Palace, sincerely dancing for Chen Mobai. Of course, after performing, each received a considerable amount of Spirit Stones.

Simultaneously, on the walls of Beiyuan Immortal City, numerous dazzling fireworks ignited by Five Elements Sect disciples transformed into colorful bursts of light, immersing the entire city in an atmosphere of celebration and joy.

All the cultivators in the city stepped out of their homes to witness the grand ceremony. Amidst a sky full of colored paper and petals, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu descended, starting to toast one by one.

The first table naturally belonged to Ye Qing and Zhang Pankong, besides them were Ren Qiu, Sun Huanglong, Liu Nan Sheng, and Yi Chenghan.

Considered the most distinguished guests, the seats of Chen Mobai and Qing Nu were also here.

With the sunset over the western mountains, the grand ceremony neared its end.

Chen Mobai and Qing Nu finished toasting the last table, returning to their seats. After drinking the final cup with Ye Qing and others, the Dao Partner Ceremony drew to a perfect conclusion.

Ye Qing and Zhang Pankong were the first to take their leave, and Chen Mobai asked E Yun to see them off on his behalf.

“Everyone, if the hospitality has been lacking, please forgive us.”

After saying this to the crowd, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu returned to the mountain together.

Watching their departing figures, Luo Yixuan and Yin Qingmei sitting together drank another glass, their heads lowered. Liu Wenbo, witnessing this, was somewhat puzzled as he clearly remembered their relationship was not particularly good.

“It’s a pity that Junior Brother is in seclusion for Core Formation, missing this ceremony.”

Putting down his chopsticks, Zhuo Ming spoke regretfully.

Jiang Zongheng was undergoing Core Formation in Loquat Valley, so naturally, it was impossible for everyone to force him to come out for this event.

“With Jiang Shidi’s talent, this Core Formation will surely succeed. Alas, I, as the eldest disciple of Xiao Nanshan Lineage’s second generation, have been surpassed by you junior brothers and sisters…”

Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming entered Chen Mobai’s tutelage at the same time. Their bond was even stronger than that of siblings, so Liu Wenbo expressed his inner frustration to Zhuo Ming.

“As long as you follow Master’s instructions, Senior Brother, you will definitely succeed in Core Formation too.”

Zhuo Ming offered comfort. Aside from these second-generation disciples, at their table sat Han Zhiling, Song Huangdae, and Duan Shuyu, three third-generation disciples.

Among them, Han Zhiling had already reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and Song Huangdae was nearly there.

Duan Shuyu had just entered Foundation Establishment not long ago. Because he started cultivation at an older age, despite being the youngest, he had snow-white hair.

“I heard that the Ancestor bestowed the Tianpeng Mountain Sub courtyard upon you?”

Song Huangdae had a good relationship with Han Zhiling. Observing Sect Master Liu Wenbo conversing with Zhuo Ming, he spoke to her.

“No, I’m merely asked to look after the medicine field and spirit plants there.”

Han Zhiling shook her head, denying it. The Fourth Grade Spirit Vein lands were rare in the entire Five Elements Sect. Many Core Formation Cultivators didn’t possess them. Given her current Foundation Establishment Realm, how could she be so ostentatious?

“What about you? I heard the Ancestor entrusted an important project to you, previously under the charge of the temporary leader, Uncle E. It seems the Ancestor thinks highly of you.”

Han Zhiling’s words almost caused Song Huangdae to choke on his drink.

“The position of Sect Leader, I never dared think of it. Don’t speak carelessly; if word spreads, it will put me in a difficult position…”

During their conversation, Zhou Ye from the neighboring table suddenly stood up. Green Pearl, beside him, promptly followed with a wine jug.

The two of them walked over to the first table.

After Chen Mobai, Qing Nu, Ye Qing, and Zhang Pankong left, only Ren Qiu, Sun Huanglong, and Liu Nan Sheng remained there.

Yi Chenghan, displeased with Liu Nan Sheng from Sun Bathing Sea, found a place to drink with Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi.

“Patriarch Sun, I’ve long admired your name.”

After Zhou Ye toasted each person, he sat beside Sun Huanglong with a smile.

“You are…”

Sun Huanglong naturally noticed Zhou Ye’s cultivation level was no less than his own and hesitantly asked.

“Zhou Ye of the Five Elements Sect’s Earth Vein.”

“A pleasure, a pleasure!”

Sun Huanglong was aware of the Five Elements Sect’s Five Veins, having heard of Zhou Ye’s reputation, and responded politely.

But he did not know that Zhou Ye was a mortal enemy to his Sun family.

“Patriarch Sun seems to have forgotten.”

Zhou Ye said disappointedly, then put down his wine cup and left with Green Pearl.

Sun Huanglong watched Zhou Ye’s departing figure, slightly frowning, uncertain of the meaning of Zhou Ye’s words.

…

On the mountaintop.

Chen Mobai and Qing Nu arrived at the meticulously arranged bridal chamber. Incense candles shimmered brightly, the bed adorned with a red wedding quilt embroidered with a mandarin ducks frolicking in water pattern, surrounded by various auspicious decorations, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

“My dear wife!”

Chen Mobai followed local customs, calling out, causing Qing Nu’s snow-white cheeks to blush instantly, leading her to shyly lower her head.

Before long, she fell upon the wedding quilt, her snow-white delicate body against the red backdrop seemed to emit a soft jade glow.

The sky was already dotted with stars, and on this special night, the crisp sound of bells continuously rang.
