Chapter 787 - 787 452 Yan Shaoyin_1

Chapter 787: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_1 Chapter 787: Chapter 452 Yan Shaoyin_1 However, what does Ji Dingjin want all these Void Stones for?

Chen Mobai, with a perplexed expression, gathered a pile of silver-gray stones from the floor. These could be used to make storage bags, but their main use was for arranging Teleportation Arrays.

With a Teleportation Array, one could both attack or retreat, so all the major sects and cultivation clans would do everything possible to set one up if the conditions allowed.

The catalyst for the first great war with Shake Mountain was Lei Nation’s Gong family and Zheng family’s plot to kill the town guard of Divine Wood Sect.

The other cultivation clans in Lei Nation tried to dissociate themselves from the incident and slaughtered both families, but they managed to escape through a Teleportation Array.

If Zhou Shengqing hadn’t decisively used the Bead that Breaks Meridians which shook up the Earth Veins and caused the Teleportation Array to fail, Ji Zhenshi would have likely fled to the Eastern Wilderness with most of the elite and wealth.

For this reason, the void stones held a high value within the Eastern Wilderness.

Having finished counting everything in the storage bags, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but have a satisfied expression on his face.

All of this added up to around two hundred thousand spirit stones.

No wonder cultivation forces in the Eastern Wilderness love going to war so much, this was just his personal spoils from the battlefield.

Regrettably, this sort of behaviour wasn’t sustainable.

The Eastern Wilderness was a large place with plentiful resources, but most cultivators only set their sights on the quickest method – plundering.

Because many cultivators who honestly created talismanic seals or mined for spirit stones had their hard-earned gains stolen by rogue cultivators. This caused fewer and fewer cultivators to want to work, leading to more and more cultivators becoming rogue, seeking to produce without contributing.

Chen Mobai hoped to create a peaceful environment in Eastern Wilderness without rogue cultivators. Then every cultivator could gain cultivation resources through their efforts, and order could be maintained. Only with order comes stability and only with stability comes progress and prosperity.

Compared to being a rogue cultivator, Chen Mobai believed that doing business to make money was the long-lasting way.

After all, compared to the path of the immortals, the resources here were too abundant.

The next day.

Luo Yixuan brought a small old man who sold Evil Qi Crystals in the Fang Market named Lu Daoda. He had reached the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. He was indeed a Rank-2 Earth Master.

“I didn’t expect it to be Immortal Master Chen, I failed to recognize you, these five hundred spirit stones…”

Seeing Chen Mobai, Lu Daoda offered a bag of spirit stones, intending to return the spirit stones Chen Mobai had used to buy the Evil Qi Crystals.

“We made a regular transaction, you shine keep it. I invited you here today to ask about Earth Master related matters.”

Chen Mobai waved his hand, indicating that Lu Daoda should take back the spirit stones. The latter did so instantly upon hearing this.

“Immortal Master Chen, please ask.”

“You have cultivated an Earth Master to this realm, what are your thoughts on the Earth Veins and Spiritual Energy within Rock Country?”

“Well… I wonder what Master Chen would like to know?”

“I want to find an appropriate spirit vein to serve as the land my sect guards in Rock Country in the future. Of course, I also have plans to turn it into the main cultivation market in Rock Country, or even a Dao city.”

Since he was asking a professional for advice, Chen Mobai expressed his thoughts honestly.

“Within the boundaries of Rock Country, in addition to the Rank-4 Spirit Vein where Shake Mountain is located, there are seven Rank-3 Spirit Veins, all of which are occupied by the local cultivator families.”

“However, the largest Ji Family collapsed with Shake Mountain, and the Jiao, He, and Qu families all suffered heavy losses in this war. The core members of these families have already fled Rock country. Thus, there are four Rank-3 Spirit Veins to choose from.”

“Among them, the North Abyss Mountain Spirit Vein of the Ji Family is the most prosperous, a top-notch Rank-3. Moreover, after hundreds of years of development by the Ji Family, it has abundant spirit and medicine fields, and its geographical location is good. It’s the most suitable.”

After hearing Lu Daoda’s words, Chen Mobai took out a map of Rock Country and, under the guidance of Lu Daoda, located this North Abyss Mountain.

However, he found a problem after looking at it.

This North Abyss Mountain was only a hundred miles away from Shake Mountain, and the Void Mysterious Stone Mine was located in a certain valley eighty miles away.

If he occupied this North Abyss Mountain, it would likely be neighboring the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace which wanted to open a sub-sect within Rock Country in the future.

But after careful thought, Chen Mobai believed the relationship with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace might not improve. When Zhou Shengqing was forming his “Nascent Soul Formation”, they might have to face them. Keeping the Divine Wood Sect’s guard in North Abyss Mountain, would be like driving a strong nail at the heart of Rock Country.

“Here it is.”

Chen Mobai stretched out his right hand and firmly pat the North Abyss Mountain on the map.

“Thank you, Brother Lu, for your guidance.”

“Not at all. Being able to help Immortal Master Chen is my honor. The Rank-3 Spirit Veins left by Jiao and other Rock Country families also need to be planned for early. These families have left some old, weak, sick and disabled behind that many rogue cultivators are eying. If they aren’t occupied soon, I’m afraid they will be plundered by rogue cultivators one by one.”

Lu Daoda had learned from Luo Yiyuan that Chen Mobai wanted to recruit him into Divine Wood Sect. For a loose cultivator like him, it was a great honor. He began to display his talents to the fullest.
