I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 746: Chapter 692: Getting on Track

In the morning, Jiang Yuebai led nearly five thousand people on a patrol around Yunping Mountain. By nightfall, this news had spread throughout the Seven Stars River Basin and even reached the Zhuge, Xiong, and Youx families along Eight Immortals River.

The Zhuge Family was delighted upon hearing this. They immediately dispatched experienced cultivators from their Inner Affairs Hall and workshops to assist the Heavenly Interence Sect, as a gesture of alliance.

The Youx Family, being always neutral and not competitive, ignored the news and continued as usual.

However, the Xiong Family was thrown into a panic and quickly contacted the Heavenly Star Sect.

With no hope of overpowering through force, they could only resort to other measures. After many days of deliberation, the two families decided to suppress the Heavenly Interence Sect in business, monopolizing resources needed by low-level cultivators, waiting to see how they would sustain so many people.

After a round of inspection with Xie Tianbao, Jiang Yuebai found that Xie Tianbao was uncomfortable living inside the gates of the Heavenly Interence Sect.

In the end, after consulting with his own master and Uncle Fuyi, Jiang Yuebai left Guan Nanbao to Xie Tianbao.

As a vital pass for guarding Yunping Mountain and one of the three major cities around the Yunping Mountain Range, Xie Tianbao, as a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, could both defend Guan Nanbao and conduct his Mountain and Sea Building business conveniently there.

Jiang Yuebai’s plans were clear to Xie Tianbao, but he played along, as he too found Guan Nanbao suitable.

The city walls were somewhat worn, but once repaired and fortified, they would turn Guan Nanbao into a fortress, allowing him to peacefully cultivate and do business.

On his first day in Guan Nanbao, without having decided on his residence, Xie Tianbao first rallied Xie Jingshan and a large group of Foundation Establishment Disciples from the Heavenly Interence Sect to survey the various workshops.

Jiang Yuebai also specially brought the Xie Family’s old servant Luoo Tingzong from the Earth Spiritual Realm to accompany Xie Tianbao. With Luoo Tingzong’s help, Xie Tianbao merely had to give orders, and Luoo Tingzong would handle everything for him.

Once he had gathered the information, Xie Tianbao used his own Spirit Stones to deploy people to various workshops. In his own private name, he started acquiring large amounts of basic resources across major business houses simultaneously, stockpiling tons of goods before prices spiked.

When representatives from the Heavenly Star Sect and Xiong Family arrived, they found nearly empty warehouses and elated shopkeepers, spilling colorful language in frustration.

Above Yunping Mountain.

Everyone had familiarized themselves with the surroundings, forming groups to either continue touring, exploring the mountains, or returning to the sect gates to await instructions.

Jiang Yuebai, Lu Nanzhi, Yun Shang, and Ge Yuchan, along with Jiang Yuebai’s junior sister Jiangg Ziying, sat on Jiang Yuebai’s Feather Boat, transformed from the Taihe Umbrella, flying low over the forest canopies.

Yun Shang excitedly peered down, watching the startled mystical creatures scurrying below.

”This place is great! I’ve already seen six types of mystical creatures I’ve never seen before. Later, I want to capture them all. Little Bai, Little Bai, can you give me a piece of land back home to raise Spiritual Beasts?”

With hopeful eyes, Jiang Yuebai laughed, ”Of course, my master will arrange it, don’t worry.”

Embarrassed, Yun Shang smiled, already envisioning a new future.

She aspired to become the Beast King of this mountain!

Jiangg Ziying tugged on Jiang Yuebai’s sleeve, ”Senior Sister, I also want a piece of land to plant Spirit Plants. Look at these wild Spirit Plants I’ve collected. They’re perfect for trying new grafting experiments.”

”Alright, alright, you can have them. I’ll give you seventeen or eighteen hilltops, plenty of land for you to plant.”

”Thank you, Senior Sister!”

Ge Yuchan sat cross-legged at the boat’s bow, surveying the unfamiliar mountains, rivers, valleys, and forests with a hint of tension.

Noticing this, Lu Nanzhi approached to comfort her, ”The strong never fear changes in the environment. Spend some time adapting, and soon this place will become your new domain.”

Ge Yuchan nodded, gratefully saying, ”Thank you, Uncle. I’ll try my best.”

”Don’t be so formal, just call me Anan like Little Bai does.”

Tunneling Lights streaked across the horizon, the mountains and forests echoing with joyful shouts, vitality surging, full of hope for the future.

Except...

”Ah! Such a wide mountain gap, yet you don’t use an array to seal it. What if a thief sneaks into the Heavenly Interence Sect from here? It’s too unsafe!”

”Ah! Why is the earth here so soft? It’s outrageously convenient for the Earth Escape Technique... it’s riddled with holes, riddled with holes!”

Li Shen Zhi darted left and right, screaming fearfully, as if the Heavenly Interence Sect would be exterminated any moment.

”Li Shen Zhi, calm down,” Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but shout.

Li Shen Zhi rushed to Jiang Yuebai, flustered and panicked, ”The surroundings of the sect gates are full of holes, it’s like a sieve, and you can still just sit there?”

After speaking, Li Shen Zhi looked around, ”Wushuang, Wangchen quickly come out, let’s array together and fix these holes.”

Jiang Yuebai quickly intervened, ”Look, look, do you see this river? It flows out from the Seven Stars River, circling around the Heavenly Interence Sect’s gates. Take a closer look.”

Li Shen Zhi squints and rubs his chin, ”Even if you didn’t tell me, I already noticed something strange about this river...”

Jiang Yuebai’s voice rose a bit, ”I’ll tell you a secret, this is the Sect Protection Array personally laid by Immortal Monarch Chongmin as the Realm Lord for the Heavenly Derivation Sect in Nine Rivers Realm!”

Li Shen Zhi: !!!

Not only did Li Shen Zhi’s eyes widen, but Yun Shang, Ge Yuchan, Jiang Ziying behind Jiang Yuebai, and everyone else loitering around also looked at Jiang Yuebai in astonishment.

Jiang Yuebai patted Li Shen Zhi on the shoulder, ”Don’t tell anyone~”

Gulp!

Li Shen Zhi swallowed his saliva, then his whole body relaxed, slowly curling his lips, and his heart no longer panicked, his breath not short, even humming a tune to enjoy the scenery.

”This little mountain gap, has quite an unusual growth~”

Whispers arose from the surroundings, originally some people planned to leave Heavenly Derivation Sect after enduring for hundreds of years and wander the star sea, now hearing that Heavenly Derivation Sect backs against a Mahayana Immortal Monarch.

That’s a living Mahayana Immortal Monarch!

A realm they had never seen, nor dared to imagine!

So why leave the Heavenly Derivation Sect, with a Mahayana Immortal Monarch as a backer, Heavenly Derivation Sect being an old acquaintance, in need of people, where else to find such a good sect, such a good opportunity?

Not leaving, they want to join Heavenly Derivation Sect, officially.

”True Monarch Wangshu...”

A group of people crowded up, began to get acquainted with Jiang Yuebai, inquiring about the conditions for officially joining Heavenly Derivation Sect.

In March of the Year of the Metal Rooster, during Grain Rain, Jiang Yuebai led the cultivators to arrive at Nine Rivers Realm’s Heavenly Derivation Sect.

Lii Jiuchuan as Sect Master, immediately went to meet the two Refining Void Ancestors who couldn’t stay long in Nine Rivers Realm, after two hours of secret talks, the two Refining Void Ancestors left.

Lii Jiuchuan formally took over Nine Rivers Realm’s Heavenly Derivation Sect, he immediately reorganized the interior of Heavenly Derivation Sect, dividing into Thirty-Six Peaks, named after Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang, just like in Earth Spiritual Realm.

Remaining extra, uninhabited peaks were supplemented in order of Seventy-Two Earth Evils.

Everything seemed to become like Earth Spiritual Realm’s Heavenly Derivation Sect, giving newcomers a sense of familiarity.

Lii Jiuchuan knew people well and assigned suitable positions to everyone.

Divinity Transformation Cultivators naturally sat firmly as Supreme Elders, Nascent Soul Cultivators included True Monarch Bailu still responsible for alchemy matters, True Monarch Cang Huo for artifact refining matters, True Monarch Baiyan specialized in Puppetry Path took charge of the sect’s constructions.

True Monarch Lingjun responsible for arrays of each peak, True Monarch Fantao, meticulous, governed the lnner Affairs Hall.

Lii Jiuchuan already knew Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi were going to practice in the Immortal Palace, so did not assign duties.

Among Golden Core Masters, Li Shen Zhi under Zhao Fuyi continued to handle the sect’s defense, Muh Wushuang led the Law Enforcement Hall, with a fiery temper, those not wanting trouble best behave.

Tang Weimian managed all accounts of the lnner Affairs Hall, controlling the purse strings.

Hee Wangchen, Song Zhi’ang, Shi Xiaowu, and Qii Yue together tasked with rapidly refining the Puppet Alchemy Furnace invented by Shi Xiaowu and Qii Yue.

Along with Shi Xiaowu’s Quantitative Alchemy Formula, these would be crucial sources of income for Heavenly Derivation Sect’s future.

Yun Shang continued to lead in breeding Spiritual Insects and Beasts, her previous development of the Gu Talisman combining Gu and Jade Talisman could become a unique product of Heavenly Derivation Sect.

And Jiang Ziying, inspired by Jiang Yuebai years ago, learned the Grafting Method, and over the years grafted many rare Spirit Plants.

Just like the Yuan Nourishing Tea cultivated by Jiang Yuebai back then, originally Yuan Nourishing Grass needed at least ten years to mature, and after harvesting needed to be replanted.

But Yuan Nourishing Tea now only needs five years, and can be like tea leaves, harvested twice a year, greatly increasing Yuan Nourishing Elixir production while lowering costs.

In Jiang Ziying’s hands, there are many such low-level spiritual plants, most being essentials.

When Jiang Ziying leads low-level cultivators to plant these spirit plants in all Spiritual Fields in Yunping Mountain, in three to five years, resources needed by low-level cultivators, Heavenly Derivation Sect will no longer need to purchase externally, and could even supply abundantly outside.

The sect began to take shape, with Lii Jiuchuan having Qii Ming and Shen Huaxi assisting, still hectic, stretched thin.

Fortunately, Xie Jingshan had already returned to Green Dragon Realm, bringing Hongye beside Jiang Yuebai to let this variant Tree Dragon conquer the Grass Dragon clan.

Then they could bring a batch of Grass Dragons and Soul Infant Fruit to Heavenly Derivation Sect, Soul Infant Fruit must have Grass Dragon companion to survive, if Heavenly Derivation Sect could cultivate in large quantity, perhaps everyone could cultivate the Divine Soul Birth Thought Technique in the future.

Then, one person doing the work of two or three, needing only one salary.

Affected by Jiang Yuebai, Lii Jiuchuan, ever more calculating, found it quite appealing.
