I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1713: Chapter 877: Foundation Establishment Trithings Listed

After the grand ceremony, Qing Nu officially joined the Five Elements Sect.

In the following days, Chen Mobai spent time with Qing Nu in harmony while also meeting and seeing off visiting guests one by one.

Ye Qing bid farewell the next day. After his Nascent Soul Formation, most of the external affairs of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect had already been entrusted to him, making him very busy.

When Ye Qing left, Chen Mobai had Yue Zutao accompany him back to the East Land, as the large-scale transmission array needed to connect with the Jiutianxian City on that side, so the Five Elements Sect had to send someone for this task.

After years of honing his skills, Chen Mobai believed that Yue Zutao had the ability to handle this matter well.

Primordial Void Dao Child Zhang Pankong stayed behind, as he needed to more thoroughly inspect various aspects of the large teleportion array’s setup. The location was chosen to be the previously excavated miniature Lingshi mine, but it required using Earth Vein spells to level and reinforce the ground.

Chen Mobai assigned Yi Shaoqing from the Formation Division to Zhang Pankong to satisfy all layout requests for the teleportion array.

Ren Qiu from Sky Meal Building and Yu Shuji from the Star Heaven Dao Sect also took their leave. It’s said that the Star Extreme Great Elder had brought back many delicacies from Central State and overseas, intending to host a lavish feast for several Nascent Soul Superiors from the Eastern Earth Holy Land, inviting Ren Qiu to oversee the cooking.

After seeing off the guests one by one, the bustling and lively Northern Abyss City started to gradually return to its quiet state due to the grand ceremony.

However, with the commencement of work on the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein required for the large teleportion array, the area designated as a new district drew the attention of all idle Immortal Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness.

The generous benefits offered during past projects developed by the Five Elements Sect attracted many loose cultivators, eager to become part of this project and contribute their labor.

Even the major families of the Eastern Wilderness were trying their connections to secure the lucrative segments in advance.

While Chen Mobai was enjoying his new marriage with Qing Nu, all these matters fell on E Yun’s shoulders.

E Yun, having established himself in Northern Abyss City, was well aware of the intricacies involved. He personally managed the development of the new district, ensuring the initially volatile market prices returned to normal levels.

Previously, to rapidly develop the Eastern Desolation Plateau, whether it was the two large rivers, afforestation, desert control, or opening Spirit Fields, in order to attract more human and material resources, high Spirit Stone compensations were given to subcontractors from major Cultivator Families and even loose cultivator labor.

But now, with the development of the Five Elements Sect having entered a stable phase, there’s no longer a need to rush progress.

Thus, E Yun felt there was no need to hand such high profits to outsiders anymore.

This naturally offended many, but the Five Elements Sect was unequivocally the dominant power in the Eastern Wilderness now, and if local Cultivator Families on the plateau found the profits too low and were unwilling to work, the Cultivator Families from over a dozen other counties outside the plateau were eagerly awaiting the opportunity to participate.

Some Cultivator Families were even willing to subsidize the Spirit Stones to work for the Five Elements Sect, just to forge a connection with them.

With intra-sect competition, to secure work, many families used various strategies.

During this time, the temptations E Yun faced were more than he had in his entire earlier life combined.

It was at this time that E Yun realized just how immense the power and the ability to allocate resources the position of the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect held.

Without exaggeration, with just a thought, he could help a small family of just over a dozen rise up, or cause a large family of hundreds to decline in a few years.

But E Yun was also well aware that being chosen by Chen Mobai as the temporary leader was not only due to past kindness in his youth but also because his thoughts and actions over the years had aligned with Chen Mobai’s.

Facing all sorts of temptations, E Yun rejected them all one by one.

He knew that his current accomplishments were due to Chen Mobai’s recognition.

If he ever strayed from Chen Mobai’s beliefs and path, it would be time for him to step down.

Among hundreds of powers in the Eastern Wilderness, E Yun assigned his own Spirit Vein Division to undertake the foundation part of the large teleportion array, selecting a few subcontractors with the most suitable pricing for the soil work.

He then consolidated a list of eliminated families and handed it to Zhuo Ming.

Zhuo Ming was planning to open up hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land in the Eastern Desolation Nineteen Prefectures, requiring cooperation from local Cultivator Families, exactly what was missing.

In this process, the Spirit Treasure Pavilion in Northern Abyss City also put new Foundation Establishment spiritual items on the shelves.

The set of elixirs called the Foundation Establishment Trithings initially faced skepticism from quite a few disciples.

However, soon many former true disciples of the Five Elements Sect returned to demonstrate their Foundation Establishment cultivation across their respective branches, proving its effectiveness through their personal experiences.

These individuals, who had condensed the Five Elements Essence under Zhou Wangshen in the Flying Dragon Pool, seized the opportunity and successfully established their foundation.

Previously, to keep the Foundation Establishment Trithings a secret, they had to hide themselves. Now, with the sect’s authorization, they could finally return to their main branch and show their Foundation Establishment Realm to family and friends.

The success of this group set a precedent, dispelling any reservations among the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, who eagerly exchanged their accumulated sect contributions for the Foundation Establishment Trithings.

The Spirit Treasure Pavilion priced each component of the Foundation Establishment Trithings at 1000 sect contributions, knowing there was no lack of market, so no discount was offered for the full set.

In just half a month, the thousand sets of Foundation Establishment Trithings prepared over several years by the Alchemy Department under Qing Nu’s guidance were completely sold out.

In the following year, every ten days or so, signs of successful foundation establishments began to emerge within the cave dwellings of Northern Abyss City.

The affordability of these Foundation Establishment spiritual items made many Cultivator Families in the Eastern Wilderness restless.

They all requested the Five Elements Sect to open access to the Foundation Establishment Trithings, even at a higher price.

Cultivator Families at least had the means to communicate with the Five Elements Sect and request.

Loose cultivators, however, had no such channels.

But this is their only hope for Foundation Establishment.

After all, a single Foundation Building Pill, even at the lowest base price, costs ten thousand Spirit Stones. They couldn’t afford it even if they worked all their lives.

The Foundation Establishment Trithings, even if they can’t afford the entire set, buying just one is still beneficial. At least they can get a taste of what Foundation Establishment feels like.

To know that, with the Five Elements Sect suppressing the Eastern Wilderness and rogue cultivators almost disappearing, the lives of loose cultivators are improving. Under the abundance of spirit rice and spiritual energy, the first batch of Northern Abyss City residents with homes have basically achieved the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.

If they are willing to use their homes as collateral, they could take loans to buy one of the Foundation Establishment Trithings without any problem.

Amidst the surging crowd, many loose cultivators even went to the foot of North Abyss Mountain hanging banners, requesting Immortal Venerate Chen to have mercy on the masses and give loose cultivators a chance for Foundation Establishment.

Chen Mobai, who was compiling the Longevity Academy’s curriculum with Qing Nu, heard the commotion from the mountain below and couldn’t help but chuckle silently.

”What’s the matter?”

Qing Nu heard his laughter and put down her paintbrush; she was writing an alchemy textbook, using the Immortal Gate’s knowledge system as the skeleton, enriched by the medicinal ingredients and alchemy inheritance here in the Tianhe Realm.

Chen Mobai was also compiling spell, instrument-making, and formation topics.

The educational system of the Immortal Gate is very comprehensive, with the four main subjects—technique, pill, instrument, array—covering almost all the basics. Thus, Chen Mobai planned to initially create these foundational textbooks with Qing Nu.

In the future, the various academies under the Five Elements Sect in the Eastern Wilderness would use these textbooks as models.

This task could only be done by the two of them.

Because the knowledge system must integrate with the locally existing medicinal herbs, terrain, minerals, spells, and so forth to achieve localization.

This is the foundation for eternity.

”Should we allow E Yun to open the Foundation Establishment Trithings to cultivators outside the Five Elements Sect?”

Qing Nu listened to what Chen Mobai said and curiously asked.

If it were in the Immortal Gate, surely public opinion would be heeded and concessions made.

But in the Tianhe Realm here, if the Five Elements Sect were to act ruthlessly, the loose cultivators and rogue cultivators would have no recourse.

It wasn’t long before E Yun rushed over.

”I have disturbed the sect leader’s tranquility, I am greatly at fault...”

After E Yun ascended the mountain, he immediately apologized.

Chen Mobai used Echoes in the Void to listen again and found that there was no sound below the mountain. With a sweep of divine sense, he saw Yuan Chiye and Qi Rui leading the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, taking away all the Northern Abyss City residents who came with banners.

”It’s better to enable than to block; we still have to provide them a channel for advancement.”

Chen Mobai spoke a sentence, and E Yun immediately nodded, indicating he would go down the mountain to arrange the opening of the Foundation Establishment Trithings.

”No need for the sect to intervene, I have other arrangements!”

But Chen Mobai shook his head, and E Yun did not ask further upon hearing it.

Not long after, Liu Wenbo and Gu Yan also came over.

”Master, the storefronts for Teacher’s wife have all been arranged.”

After Liu Wenbo came up, he immediately reported his work to Chen Mobai.

”What storefronts?”

Qing Nu asked with a puzzled expression upon hearing it.

”After you got married, didn’t you have ten thousand acres of medicine fields? Those medicinal ingredients won’t turn into Spirit Stones just sitting there. My suggestion is to open a shop to sell some elixirs, so I asked Wen Bo to purchase the three best-situated storefronts in Northern Abyss City for you.”

Chen Mobai smiled while speaking to Qing Nu, who was drawing medicine patterns. She understood suddenly but furrowed her brows again.

”But if I manage a shop, I will have less time to accompany you.”

”Our lives together are still very long, doing something you enjoy is also a way to keep things exciting.”

Chen Mobai shared his thoughts and arrangements.

”Just right, the Foundation Establishment Trithings were also cultivated under your guidance. When the shop opens, displaying this will instantly make you the living Bodhisattva in the hearts of cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness, and this must be the number one elixir medicine shop in the Eastern Wilderness.”

Qing Nu obediently agreed with Chen Mobai. Hearing what he said, she also felt that managing a shop was quite nice.

”Now all that remains is the shop’s name. What would you like to call it?”

Chen Mobai saw Qing Nu nodding and asked again.

”How about Danxia?”
