I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1992: Chapter 964: Yuan Huo Shangren (2)

Then, Chen Mobai began inquiring about the bidding situation from Xing Chen.

”Each Holy Land that received the Three Lights Divine Water has received a portion, whether from the East Continent or from other states...”

Xing Chen pondered for a moment, cast a soundproofing spell, and confided in Chen Mobai.

This was agreed upon in advance, as Zhang Pankong took a group over for the first time this year, and it was essential to ensure that all customers left satisfied. If not even the Star Heaven Dao Sect would offer respect, there wouldn’t be a chance to compete for the quota of Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.

”It’s a pity that it seems our sect won’t have any.”

Upon hearing that the message had been notified to each successful Holy Land the previous night, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but sigh.

”If Sect Master Chen desires it, I can exchange the Three Lights Divine Water for the Poisonous Dragon’s remains with you.”

All that Xing Chen said was leading up to this sentence. The Three Lights Divine Water is incredibly precious to outsiders, but Nascent Soul cultivators from the Star Heaven Dao Sect still have some shares in hand.

[Exchanging the remains of a Rank-4 Peak demonic beast for a portion of Three Lights Divine Water feels a bit of a loss!] Although Chen Mobai thought this to himself, he knew that the Three Lights Divine Water was entirely a seller’s market. To outsiders, it seemed he still profited.

”The essence blood of the Poisonous Dragon Demon Beast has long been extracted by me, and the precious materials like scales, dragon sinew, whisker, and horn have already been used, leaving only the separated bones and preserved frozen flesh...”

Chen Mobai explained in advance to Xing Chen, who simply nodded, indicating that body refining cultivators only need the bones for broth and meat, as the essence from other parts doesn’t compare.

”The items are with my Daoist companion, and I’ll have them delivered to the friend when I return.”

After thinking it over, Chen Mobai decided to make the exchange.

”Consider this as me owing Sect Master Chen a favor.”

Upon hearing this, Xing Chen was delighted.

”Brother Daoist, there’s another matter. Your sect has Myriad Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice within my Eastern Wilderness Domain; I wonder if I have the chance to purchase these by offering some resources?”

Thinking of what Xing Chen said, Chen Mobai suddenly recalled this matter.

In the Eastern Wilderness Domain, now this is the only piece of Spirit Field not controlled by the Five Elements Sect and is significantly influenced by foreign forces.

Though for many years, the cooperation between Five Elements Sect and Starry Sky Commerce Guild has been harmonious, this Myriad Acres Spirit Field always feels like a thorn in their side, a source of discomfort.

Chen Mobai pondered whether he could take this opportunity to resolve it.

”Sect Master Chen, I’m afraid it’s not possible...”

Upon hearing, Xing Chen appeared troubled. For them, Nascent Soul cultivators, the Myriad Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice isn’t so valuable, but it’s crucial as it’s the accomplishment of the Star Heaven Dao Sect’s third-generation patriarch.

Even though the third-generation patriarch passed away thousands of years ago, the memorial tablet is still there. Now the Star Heaven Dao Sect’s Nascent Souls, even the eldest Xing Ji Elder, would not be willing to bear the name of unfilialness for some profit.

”Understood.”

After understanding the cause, Chen Mobai nodded lightly. As the ancestral foundation, Myriad Acres of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice really couldn’t be sold without adequate reasons and excuses.

It seems he must wait until he achieves Divinity Transformation in the future before he can ’negotiate’ with the Star Heaven Dao Sect.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai discussed some resources the Five Elements Sect disciples were interested in, such as Zhuo Ming’s Ninefold Law Body, Mo Douguang’s Imperial Extreme Sword Path, etc.

”These are simple; I’ll compile the prices at the time. If the quote differences aren’t much, I will ensure your sect is awarded the bid. If the price gap is significant, I’ll inform Sect Master Chen of the base bid, and you can have the Five Elements Sect submit a revised quote.”

In a few short words, Xing Chen had already internally decided the bidding success of the Five Elements Sect’s quote.

”Thank you, Brother Daoist!”

Chen Mobai was pleased, realizing that having someone on the inside makes all the difference in getting things done.

That evening.

Chen Mobai fetched the Poisonous Dragon remains, handled by Qing Nu, and personally went to visit Xing Chen. Although there was a significant age gap between them, they conversed joyfully, reminiscing about their first encounter, treating it as a delightful tale.

”Take care, Sect Master Chen...”

”No need to see me off, Daoist friend!”

After obtaining a portion of Three Lights Divine Water, Chen Mobai returned to his courtyard, only to find a guest had arrived.

Zhou Ye was hosting.

The guest was a radiant Taoist with red eyebrows and hair, accompanied by Hong Xiu, whom Chen Mobai recognized.

”I am Yuan Huo of the Mysterious Fire Sect, greetings to Sect Master Chen!”

The Taoist rose, first introducing himself to Chen Mobai.

”You’re too polite, Elder Yuan Huo...”

Chen Mobai, having already anticipated his identity, was not surprised.

”I heard Sect Master Chen is an artifact refining master of the East Continent. Coincidentally, I wish to invite several Daoist friends to refine a Fifth Rank Artifact together. I wonder if Daoist friend would have time to visit the Southern State with me after the assembly?”

”After I return, I’m afraid I need to close myself off for a period and cannot travel far, apologies!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately refused without a second thought.

He wouldn’t even consider going to the East Land, let alone the unfamiliar Southern State.

”Sect Master Chen, don’t rush to refuse. The East Continent is about to become a land of turmoil; however, our Southern State has five Great Holy Lands maintaining order and remains peaceful. At this juncture, Sect Master Chen can lead your Daoist couple and disciples to my Southern State for respite.”

Elder Yuan Huo’s words caught Chen Mobai by surprise.

Upon closer thought, there seemed to be some truth to it.

Among the Five Continents and Four Seas, the Southern State’s strength is second only to the Central State. The southern Demon Path has long been scattered by them, fleeing into the sea and merely surviving with the help of the Demon Clan True Spirit.
