I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1842: Chapter 922: Sword Embryo (14k)_4

A Golden Core Realm combat power appeared within the territory of the Five Elements Sect, and it’s definitely necessary to inform them first. Otherwise, after painstakingly acquiring it at great cost, they might reverse course and suppress you.

However, in this aspect, E Yun upheld Chen Mobai’s philosophy. Within the Eastern Wilderness, any new Golden Core forces were warmly welcomed.

”In terms of commerce, we’ll simply collect taxes, try not to intervene, but if anyone dares to evade taxes, you don’t need to be polite. No matter who it is, even if it’s my disciple’s family, feel free to handle it harshly.”

Chen Mobai’s words made E Yun’s expression serious, as Song Huangdae behind him glanced secretly at Luo Yixuan, who was serving tea beside Chen Mobai.

Among the four major disciples of Xiao Nanshan, only Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan came from cultivator families.

However, Luo Yixuan had a faint sentiment towards her family. After her mother’s death, she never returned home. A few years ago, when the old ancestor of the Luo family passed away, he wanted Luo Yixuan to help the family youngsters purchase a Foundation Building Pill, but they couldn’t even make it through the gates of Cold Jade Lake.

Ultimately, the Luo family had to spend heavily to buy several properties in Northern Abyss City, luckily drawing for a set of Foundation Establishment Trithings at Danxia Pavilion, thus continuing their Foundation Establishment practitioners.

After discussing these matters, Chen Mobai asked about the Earth Network Great Formation and the Fifth Rank Spirit Vein.

E Yun was not very clear about this, so Song Huangdae immediately stood up to report.

The two cores of the Earth Network Great Formation, Mysterious Five Elements and Reversible Nine Palaces, currently focus on the Mysterious Five Elements Array above the Eastern Wilderness Plateau. Yi Shaoqing leads the elite of the Formation Division of the Five Elements Meridians, along with sixth-year interns from various scholarly mansions, having completed the wood and earth formations.

Since Yi Shaoqing is proficient in the wood element, and Chun Yusu of the Earth Vein is proficient in the earth element, these two were completed relatively quickly.

However, the progress is slow for the remaining gold, water, and fire elements.

Nonetheless, with the efforts of so many people from the Five Elements Meridians, it could be completed within ten years at the latest.

Just that the activation of the Fifth Rank Great Formation requires Chen Mobai, the Array Master, especially for the Fifth Rank Spirit Vein.

”Well, notify me at that time.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded. However, he thought to himself that the progress was somewhat slow. It seems Zhuo Ming has nothing much to do; it’s time to cultivate her into an outstanding array master.

After these major issues, the rest were all trivial details.

For example, on the Eastern Wilderness Plateau, the yield of Spirit Rice per acre in various spirit fields set new records. The sect’s granaries everywhere were filled, and the price of Spirit Rice had dropped to an unprecedented low. Even the most basic loose cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness could afford to eat Spirit Rice daily.

Internal consumption in the Eastern Wilderness had failed to absorb this much for years, so the Five Elements Sect turned their gaze to the outer regions.

Previously, they mainly sold to East Wu.

They’ve long been at war with the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster, relying on external commerce associations to buy essentials like Spirit Rice, even the Sun family.

While the Star Heaven Commerce Guild only sells Rank-3 and above Spirit Rice, the market for low-rank Spirit Rice has always been blank.

The Spirit Rice sent from the Eastern Wilderness was readily accepted there, as it was incredibly cheap.

And besides East Wu, sales to East Barbarians began even earlier.

After the Five Elements Sect obliterated Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, they legitimately obtained Rank-3 Golden Cloud Rice. Zhuo Ming improved it, and it matured in three years, increasing the yield more than twofold.

Chen Mobai sold this Golden Cloud Rice to various Golden Core forces in East Barbarians at a 30% discount compared to its original price, with the sole condition that they bundle sales of their own low-rank Spirit Rice, essentially giving them away.

At first, the people over at Sun Bathing Sea thought Chen Mobai was crazy, questioning such business practices.

But after a decade, the Five Elements Sect had already occupied 90% of the low-rank Spirit Rice market in East Barbarians, even impacting the Rank-3 Spirit Rice market, pushing Sun Bathing Sea’s Fire Crystal Rice into a corner.

Currently, in East Barbarians, apart from the Sun Bathing Sea’s own territory, all other Golden Core forces, even Kong Sang Valley, purchase Golden Cloud Rice.

Because at the same price, they not only get Rank-3 Spirit Rice, but also more low-rank Spirit Rice.

Recent years have seen even subordinate forces of the Sun Bathing Sea begin purchasing secretly from the Five Elements Sect. Spirit Stones are hard to earn, saving a bit wherever possible.

Thanks to the markets of East Wu and East Barbarians, the Five Elements Sect’s Spirit Rice didn’t rot.

Every year, the Five Elements Sect earns over twenty million in Spirit Stones from Spirit Rice alone. This is due to the high-ranked Spirit Rice being primarily consumed internally, like Purple Jade Rice, Clear Bamboo Spirit Rice, which are benefits for sect disciples and not sold externally.

Besides Spirit Rice, there are Spirit Cows, Spirit Sheep, various herbs, elixirs, and the most critical pillar: real estate, along with various taxes.

After Chen Mobai’s Nascent Soul Formation, the wealth of the Reward Virtue Hall has been increasing day by day. After deducting disciples’ salaries and operating costs each year, they can settle accounts exceeding fifty million Spirit Stones.

Previously, Zhou Shengqing, as the revered Nascent Soul Cultivator, personally led various Golden Core cultivators of the Five Elements Sect to mine at Dove Mound Mountain due to being stimulated by seeing a billion Spirit Stones. He had never seen so many in his lifetime.

And now, the Five Elements Sect can earn a billion Spirit Stones in just two years.

”Spirit Stones have value only when spent. Starting next year, construct seven Immortal Cities in these places, open more schools. Ensure even the mundane world can read, as at the very least being literate can enlighten minds. When ordinary people are well-fed, their essence strengthens, increasing the likelihood that their children possess Spiritual Roots, thus preparing for our sect’s future.”
