Chapter 1217: Chapter 668 Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network_2 Chapter 1217: Chapter 668 Heavenly Curtain and Earth Network_2 Even without knowing spells, vigorously digging canals still far surpassed the efforts of ordinary people.

Because Zhuo Ming had the Artifact Refining Department custom-make a large quantity of Rank-1 iron tools, some for digging canals and others for farming, all of which needed spiritual power to operate, those Qi practitioners below Rank-3 eagerly took on these tasks to receive benefits such as free Spirit Rice.

Luo Xue’er and Zhou Wangshen also thought about replicating the successful experience from Rock Country.

However, without an outstanding Spirit Plant Master like Zhuo Ming to oversee everything, not only was the harvest efficiency low, even the canal excavation was delayed.

“Sect Leader, it’s mainly because we don’t have enough manpower here. Actually, Zhuo Shimei often comes over to help guide us, but the sect disciples are reluctant to come here. Could you possibly issue a policy under the sect’s name to encourage some Qi cultivating disciples to come to Sky Country…”

Zhou Wangshen, having worked here these years, had deeply felt the taste of being isolated and helpless.

Originally, when he had first taken over the role of town guard, he, relying on the power of the Zhou family, had pulled together what could be described as the most luxurious team here in Sky Country, including himself and three other Foundation Establishment practitioners, twelve former true-transmitted disciples, and over a hundred Qi cultivating disciples.

And E Yun, bringing along Yuan Chiye and supported by Chen Mobai’s associates Yu Lian and Qi Rui, barely matched him in the number of Foundation Establishment practitioners; however, the number of Qi cultivating disciples that followed him to Rock Country was far inferior.

Now, just over a decade later, the situation had completely reversed.

Under Zhou Wangshen’s command, there were now Zhou Bingyan and two other newly recruited sect Foundation Establishment practitioners, making a total of seven, nearly matching the foundation of all the cultivator families in the entire Sky Country.

Even when looking at the entirety of the Eastern Wilderness, they were second only to the major factions.

But when he looked at Rock Country, the only sentiment left in Zhou Wangshen’s heart was “sour.”

Not to mention the original four including E Yun, later, Chen Mobai established the Longevity Academy there and left his youngest disciple, Jiang Zongheng, in charge after inspecting the entire Eastern Wilderness. Then, Ding Ying and Lian Maozhi also chose to stay, making it seven Foundation Establishment practitioners in total.

The key point was that each year, students from the Longevity Academy who couldn’t qualify to study further at the Divine Wood Sect after graduation were mostly recruited by E Yun nearby, dramatically increasing the number of his Qi practitioners.

Later when Zhuo Ming came over, she even brought Yin Qingmei and Luo Yixuan.

In Rock Country alone, there were now a total of ten Foundation Establishment practitioners.

In terms of Qi practitioners, Northern Abyss City, with its unique advantages, gathered the most Loose Cultivators and family practitioners in the entire Eastern Wilderness. When they first started opening up the canals, E Yun easily amassed a team of a thousand people.

Additionally, Liu Wenbo mobilized resources from the Little Nan Mountain Shop across the entire Eastern Wilderness, providing a continuous supply of funding.

Furthermore, those from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, aiming to curry favor with Chen Mobai, did not even need a direct order from him, but all implied to their disciples to rush to Rock Country and aid Zhuo Ming in earning merit.

Not only the Qi cultivating disciples, but the Foundation Establishment practitioners were also no exception.

Heterodox Golden Cores are still listed in the exchange catalog of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion!

Any practitioner with a desire for Core Formation was now highly motivated, seeking out tasks to accrue merits.

Even if they couldn’t exchange for Heterodox Golden Cores, the annual Rank-3 Immortal Peach Fruits, which were exotic treasures for those at the Foundation Establishment stage, were a huge incentive. Yan Yuanhao’s breakthrough to the late phase of Foundation Establishment after consuming one had significantly stimulated them.

Nearly a hundred years’ worth of task lists accumulated in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion were almost cleared out by the group of Foundation Establishment practitioners from the Divine Wood Sect in just a few short years.

Newly emerging tasks basically needed to be fought over in order to be accepted.

Suddenly, within the seven countries under the Divine Wood Sect, the weather turned favorable and the nation was at peace.

Many Foundation Establishment practitioners, hopeful for further advancement and finding no tasks at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, took the initiative to go to Rock Country.

Previously, when Chen Mobai went there for inspection, aside from core Foundation Establishments like Zhuo Ming and E Yun, there were still dozens of unfamiliar sect Foundation Establishment practitioners following in the sky.

It could be said that nearly half of the Foundation Establishment practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect were now above the Eastern Desolation Plateau.

Above the Eastern Desolation Plateau, eighty percent of the Divine Wood Sect disciples were gathered in Rock Country, following Zhuo Ming’s deployment.

Watching Zhuo Ming’s side being abundantly aided by successful individuals, Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xue’er felt a great deal of injustice.

If they had such manpower and resources at their disposal, they believed their progress certainly would not lag behind Rock Country’s.

After listening to the grievances of the two, Chen Mobai compared the lineups of the two countries and felt that Zhuo Ming’s side was indeed excessively luxurious.

The main reason became clear after a little thought; it surely was because of his reputation.

Chen Mobai felt it improper to interfere, as these were individuals who were assisting his disciple, many of whom were Foundation Establishment practitioners volunteering without compensation.

However, if the progress in White River of Sky Country was too delayed, that was also unacceptable. Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xue’er were diligent, and since they had also helped him locate a Qingmu Evil, he needed to think of a way to lend a hand.

“Later, I’ll have Ming’er select several groups of cultivators from Rock Country who have been well trained to come over and help you excavate river channels, reclaim Spirit Fields, and plant Spirit Rice.”

With experienced hands assisting, the progress in White River would definitely improve significantly. Chen Mobai also thought about balancing the progress between the two sides by having Zhuo Ming lead a large force from Rock Country to come to Sky Country.

After all, the more one does, the greater the merit.

“Thank you, Sect Leader!”

With Chen Mobai’s words, Zhou Wangshen and Luo Xue’er both showed delighted expressions.

At that moment, they had arrived at the location of the Qingmu Evil Cave. Zhou Bingyan and three other Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment practitioners were guarding it, having set up a simple formation to ward off a charge of wolf-shaped demonic beasts.

Just then, a bright orange light shone in the sky and in an instant, it fell outside the formation in a crisscross pattern, subsequently turning all the demonic beasts into piles of flesh and blood, staining a large swath of green grass red.

The two cultivators beside Zhou Bingyan, witnessing Chen Mobai’s Sword Sha for the first time, could not help but show faces of shock.

It should be known that among this group of green wolves, there were even two Rank-2 lead wolves. After the formation of a beast formation that exploited their natural talents, the three of them could only form a defensive circle.

But under that brilliant light from the sky, all were effortlessly turned into minced meat without any resistance.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

At that moment, a rainbow of colorful clouds descended from the sky, with Zhou Bingyan taking the lead to salute the distinguished and mild-mannered young man at the front. The two Foundation Establishment cultivators behind her immediately followed suit.

“Rise, all of you. From the heavens, using my Spirit Eye, I noticed one of the beasts already possessed an inner core. Have someone clean up, and at the end of the year, send it to the Alchemy Department under Sky Country’s name.”

As soon as Chen Mobai’s words fell, Zhou Wangshen’s eyes lit up. He immediately instructed one of the Foundation Establishment practitioners to search among the remains.

Each demonic beast inner core sent to the Alchemy Department was worth ten thousand sect contribution points.

Chen Mobai had long since disregarded such trifles, choosing instead to give them to Sky Country as a favor. Zhou Wangshen was not one to hog such gains himself; by the end of the year, as Sky Country and the Sect tallied their contributions, he would distribute them according to merit among his subordinates.

“Hmm, the quality of this Qingmu Sha here is quite good, and the quantity is sufficient.”

At that moment, Chen Mobai had already examined this Ground Evil Spirit Cave using his Divine Sense, a satisfied smile involuntarily appearing at the corner of his mouth.

His Extreme Sun Slash only lacked the final two Golden Flames.

After condensing the seed of the “Great Sun Fire” with the Haotian Mirror, he had also cultivated a complete flame using the Ignition Technique over these years, sparing no expense of Spirit Stones.

Once the nine strikes of Flame Sun Slash were gathered, they could be merged with the Great Sun Fire.

With Chen Mobai’s Core Formation realm, extracting Qingmu Sha was naturally effortless; he condensed and completed it with a Spirit Sealing Tube in just three days.

At this moment, only Zhou Bingyan remained by his side.

Zhou Wangshen had initially wanted to stay, but Chen Mobai had him, along with Luo Xue’er, take the people back. Instilling the idea of urgently opening river channels was a major matter that could not afford any delay.
