Chapter 631: 402
âJunior Brother, isnât that still the same?â
Chu Zuoshu didnât understand the meaning of Chen Mobaiâs proposal. Even if the Sectâs contribution is not used for a few years, it ultimately still needs to be used, doesnât it?
âSect Leader, I can also make another agreement with the Sect, to only use up to one-tenth of the previous yearâs Sect contribution income each year.â
In this way, although the Divine Wood Sect is nominally still supporting the cultivation of Spirit Rice with a tenfold contribution, the actual cost would just be the normal market price.
âJunior Brother, doesnât that mean youâll be at a loss?â
âSect Leader, if I achieve Core Formation, wonât the contribution points held in the Sectâs account become real?â
Chen Mobai said with a smile, a statement that startled Chu Zuoshu into realization.
Indeed, if Chen Mobai achieves Core Formation, the Divine Wood Sect would undoubtedly have to acknowledge the remaining nine-tenths of contributions that were previously impossible to withdraw.
âJunior Brother, why donât you just focus on your cultivation and strive for Core Formation? Why do you have to go in circles like this?â
Chu Zuoshu, as the Sect Leader, had heard of Chen Mobaiâs devotion to farming over the years. His opinion was in line with Meng Hongâs. Why not cultivate with all this time?
After Core Formation, whatever you want in the Sect can be taken at any time.
âSect Leader, my individual strength canât compare to the overall strength of the Divine Wood Sect. This Spirit Rice is mainly for strengthening the physical fitness of our Sectâs Qi Practitioners.â
Chen Mobai stated his ideals again. He understood clearly. If he made the Divine Wood Sect truly buy his Spirit Rice at ten times the contribution rate every year, within two years the two old ancestors would cancel the policy.
Itâs better to agree with Chu Zuoshu that the Sect actually buys his Spirit Rice at the market price, and the remaining ninety percent is temporarily kept in the Sectâs account. Once he achieves Core Formation, it becomes real. If not, the debt is considered nonexistent.
After considering it for a moment, Chu Zuoshu immediately agreed.
He then called Luo Xueâer from the Reward Virtue Hall and the head of the Spiritual Plant Department, Shi Fengping.
With the Sect Leaderâs approval, both had no objections and agreed without hesitation.
In fact, the Spiritual Plant Department picked up a big bargain because now they could buy Chen Mobaiâs Spirit Rice at market prices.
Finally, after the harvest of one hundred and thirty acres of Spirit Fields was accounted for, Chen Mobaiâs account was increased by twenty thousand Sect contribution points.
The Reward Virtue Hall, which manages the Sectâs account, also recorded the debt of owing Chen Mobai one hundred and eighty thousand Sect contribution points.
âMaster, almost all of the cultivable land on Miao Mountain and Court Mountain has been tilled. By next spring, we should be able to plant some simple Spiritual Plants.â
While the people from the Spiritual Plant Department of the Divine Wood Sect were harvesting Spirit Rice with great enthusiasm, Chen Mobai brought Zhuo Ming to the terraces that were tilled this year.
Two of the best mountains in terms of terrain had been levelled tier by tier with the use of puppets led by mortals under Zhuo Ming in the past six months.
More than a hundred acres of Spiritual Land had been added.
However, these terraces needed to first be planted with Spiritual Oil Mustard Greens because the fertility is not enough and the soil is not loose enough.
This was Zhuo Mingâs experience from farming over the years. This kind of crop is a spiritual plant used by the sect to extract oil, and is easy to nurture. After the harvest, a gentle spiritual oil can be extracted.
The combination of this spiritual oil and Red Sun Spiritual Wood is an excellent configuration for low-ranking Alchemists of the Divine Wood Sect.
The mustard greens can yield oil after the harvest, and the left-over stems can nourish the earth, making the Spirit Fields fertile.
âIâll leave this matter to you, and take it slow for the rest. Try to fill these five hundred acres of spiritual land with the scent of rice flowers within five years.â
Chen Mobai had been laboriously tilling and sowing with Zhuo Ming over these six months.
However, once the disciple is set up, things become easier.
The three types of agricultural puppets are enough for now. After all, the harvest is handled by the Spiritual Plant Department arranged by the Sect. Their Xiao Nanshan lineage just needs to sow and till the land.
âMaster, I feel like I am about to make a breakthrough in my cultivation level. Farming and tilling seem to align very well with my Mother Earth Cultivation practice. But it feels too fast, the foundation isnât stable. It may affect the condensation of Qi into liquid in the future.â
Zhuo Ming hesitated for a moment but still reported this matter to Chen Mobai.
âOh, extend your hand, let me take your pulse for you.â
Chen Mobai placed his hand on Zhuo Mingâs wrist. After checking her cultivation level, he discovered that she was about to breakthrough to the eighth level of Qi cultivation.
However, since Zhuo Ming had only just broken through to the seventh level of Qi cultivation last year, she felt a little fearful of her own rapid progress. Therefore, she restrained herself.
âHahahaha, this is a natural progression and breakthrough, rest assured, there are no issues.â
Zhuo Ming thought her spiritual root talent was mediocre. Therefore, she felt extremely anxious about breaking through a level within a year. She even believed that she might have entered demonic path, thinking that there was a mistake in her cultivation.
But Chen Mobai knew that this second disciple of his had exceptional spiritual roots.
Under his guidance, there was no shortage of spiritual energy, the environment was most suitable for the practice of Mother Earth Cultivation, and spirit rice was eaten every meal. If there wasnât such a rapid progression, that would be out of the ordinary.
After hearing the words of Chen Mobai, Zhuo Ming finally let go of her worries.
She couldnât be happier. She sat down directly, took out a spirit stone from her storage bag, and attempted to breakthrough then and there on the Court Mountain Ground.
Court Mountain was a Rank-2 top-grade spiritual vein, but Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming had transformed most of it into spirit fields, so it was now only rank-2 lower-grade. However, for Qi practitioners, it was still an excellent place.
Chen Mobai also drew a Rank-2 spirit gathering talisman to help. Before long, the spiritual energy at the mountaintop began to gather towards the sitting Zhuo Ming.
About half an hour later, Zhuo Ming, who was enveloped in a thick mist of energy as if she was inhaling and exhaling clouds, broke through her bottleneck and advanced to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.
âThank you for your protection, master.â
After the breakthrough, Zhuo Ming opened her eyes and paid a big salute to Chen Mobai.
âRise. Court Mountain is destined to be connected to you. In the future, think of it as your cultivation ground.â
Chen Mobai waved his sleeve, a soft breath lifted Zhuo Ming up and pointed at the hill beneath their feet, a gift for Zhuo Mingâs breakthrough.
âThank you, master, I will manage the spirit fields here well.â
Zhuo Ming expressed profound gratitude. At this time, Chen Mobai noticed Luo Yixuan, who was on the side, showing an envious expression. So he simply decided to distribute some properties among his three disciples today.
âThe Miao Mountain next door will be for Xuan. Your close relationship with your senior sister will make future visits convenient.â
âWen Bo can have Wing Mountain. If you ever get too drunk to go back to Divine Wood City, at least you will have a fallback.â
Each of the four people in the lineage of Xiao Nanshan received a Spirit mountain.
Although Luo Yixuan offered her thanks verbally, she was slightly dissatisfied in her heart.
Because Miao Mountain was the furthest from Xiao Nanshan.
But there was nothing she could do. Once the master decreed, she could only bow her head and thank him.
âSeeing Mingâs breakthrough has led to some insights. I need to go into seclusion for a while. I will not be participating in this yearâs sect-wide competition. The three of you should do your best.â
After handling the affairs of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai thought that it had been half a year since he last visited the Daoist Academy. So he decided to return and deal with the backlog of work from the Student Union and his factory.
âCongratulations, master.â
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuanâs eyes were filled with admiration. Their master made breakthroughs and revelations as easily as eating and drinking.
And every time he came out of seclusion, he really made breakthroughs.
Leaving the two disciples on Court mountain, Chen Mobai returned to the top of Xiao Nanshan.
After activating the Cloud Mist Array, he left the Puppet there as usual to cultivate Pure Yang Purple Qi daily.
He, himself, returned to the Daoist Academy through the Turtle Treasure.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he received good news.
After operating for a long time through the Dance Tool Dao Academy, Che Yucheng finally managed to clear all relations related to the Purple Electric Sword.
