Chapter 1239: Chapter 680: Grand Vision in Mind_2 Chapter 1239: Chapter 680: Grand Vision in Mind_2 Chen Mobai’s words left Lou Xuelong at a loss for what to say, but in the eyes of many cultivators, a fourth grade spirit vein was indeed far more important than spirit rice.
After all, at the beginning, didn’t Liu Jia Mountain want to cooperate with the Star Heaven Dao Sect, a super sect that dominated a territory? It was just that they were reluctant to disperse their own fourth grade spirit vein, whether it was Yan Fusheng or South Master Dao.
After all, a fourth grade spirit vein concerned the very foundation of their cultivation.
The spirit stones earned from spirit rice, to them, were not as important as their own realm.
Now that Chen Mobai was willing to cooperate, Lou Xuelong felt that this trip was worthwhile.
As long as the spirit rice matured and the Divine Wood Sect got a taste of the benefits, he was confident he could convince the entire Liu Jia Mountain to plant Dari Purple Rice.
The two parties drew up a tentative agreement.
It was stipulated that the Starry Sky Commerce Guild would donate spiritual rice seeds to the Divine Wood Sect, send someone to guide the planting process to ensure a yield of eighty catties per acre, and after the matured Dari Purple Rice, the Divine Wood Sect could only sell it to the Starry Sky Commerce Guild or use it themselves.
There were also some supplementary clauses detailing various responsibilities in different situations.
After the contract was finalized, Lou Xuelong happily took his leave.
Next, as long as the Divine Wood Sect cleared a hundred acres of third rank superior grade spirit field on Liu Jia Mountain and informed him, the Starry Sky Commerce Guild would send a dedicated Earth Master and Spirit Plant Master over for inspection.
Once the spirit field met the requirements, the Golden Core Cultivators from the Star Heaven Dao Sect would bring the seeds over.
Chen Mobai watched him leave and then picked up the bag of spirit rice that shone like pale purple crystals.
Lou Xuelong had not taken it with him.
Half a day later, Zhuo Ming, who had been summoned by Chen Mobai, returned.
“Ming’er, this is Dari Purple Rice…”
Facing this treasured disciple, Chen Mobai explained the agreement with the Starry Sky Commerce Guild in detail, and Zhuo Ming’s eyes shone with excitement upon hearing it.
“Master, if this Dari Purple Rice can be exchanged for Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, in the future you and Elder Fu and the others won’t need to buy from the outside anymore.”
Zhuo Ming, who was wholeheartedly devoted to the sect, knew as the most accomplished Spirit Plant Master in the Divine Wood Sect just how many immense amounts of spirit stones the sect spent every year to buy the rank-3 spirit rice needed by the Golden Core Cultivators.
Moreover, the mine veins where the superior grade spirit stones could be mined in the Wind Country were nearly exhausted, and should the cultivation succeed, according to the Divine Wood Sect’s intentions, they would surely exchange it for the more renowned and better Body Forging effect Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice.
“Let’s plant it first. When the Spirit Plant Master from the Star Heaven Dao Sect comes over, I want you to personally receive them and learn how to plant this Dari Purple Rice.”
Chen Mobai was also unsure whether the Dari Purple Rice really had the kind of bottleneck-breaking effects like that of Pure Yang Purple Qi; he did not dare to take it to the Immortal Gate for testing and analysis.
After all, at the Immortal Gate, every new type of spiritual rice was at least continuously sown and optimized for over ten years; each seed improvement was documented and traceable.
Furthermore, the essence of the sun and moon was intercepted by the Heavenly Curtain at the Immortal Gate, integrating into the Earth Network to supply the Thirty-six Heavens and Seventy-two Blessed Lands, a critical prerequisite for Dari Purple Rice that wouldn’t be met there.
Therefore, the only option was to plant and observe in the Eastern Wilderness.
After the plantation matured, if he had mastered the second layer of the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram and Immune to All Poisons, he would personally try consuming it. If not, he would find someone else suitable.
Chen Mobai had already conceived a series of plans for this Dari Purple Rice, but Zhuo Ming, this disciple of his, wasn’t as deep in thoughts as Luo Yixuan, so he didn’t discuss these things with her first.
“Yes, Master!”
Zhuo Ming was full of confidence at Chen Mobai’s suggestion to learn how to plant Dari Purple Rice.
After all, this was what she was best at.
“Then, Master, should I hand over the affairs of White River to Luo Shimei and first go to Rainbow Country to cultivate the spirit field, and also start preparing to treat the sands?”
Zhuo Ming, just about to leave, suddenly remembered that she was still the chief in charge of the opening up of White River on the Rock Country side; if she went to cultivate fields in Rainbow Country, she definitely couldn’t handle both tasks.
“You handle Rainbow Country, and I’ll personally take care of Rock Country. It’s better if Xuan stays with you too, and take Qing Mei along as well. Although the Nanxuan sect has been extinguished and our sect has no rivals in the Eastern Wilderness, I still worry about the possibility of a Golden Core Cultivator losing their senses and making a move against you. With Xuan by your side, I’ll feel more at ease.”
When Chen Mobai was establishing his foundation, he had already planned to build Northern Abyss City into the number one Immortal City in the Eastern Wilderness, and the time seemed ripe now.
After all, once the Eastern Wilderness was unified in the future, his ambitions would surely reach beyond the surrounding domains.
Dongwu, Eastern Wilderness, and East Barbarians – when viewed together, the Eastern Desolation Plateau is exactly at the center.
And this Northern Abyss City is the center of the Eastern Desolation Plateau!
Therefore, Chen Mobai had long harbored the idea of relocating the Divine Wood Sect to the Northern Abyss City. However, relocation was no easy matter, regardless of the location.
Especially since there were two people in the sect who held onto the past, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.
Although both of them valued him highly, it was doubtful they would agree on this matter.
Hence, Chen Mobai simply used the pretext of defending the Eastern Wilderness against the possible great army from the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, to personally remain and take charge of the Northern Abyss City.
Next, he would issue orders in the name of the Sect Leader, getting everyone in the Divine Wood Sect accustomed to following commands from Northern Abyss City. Once he unified Eastern Wilderness later on, relocation would naturally follow suit.
By that time, taking down the Five Elements Sect meant giving Hun Yuan Immortal City to Zhou Shengqing!
Giant Tree Ridge would continue to be left to Fu Zongjue to guard the Divine Tree Secret Realm!
Mo Douguang, Sheng Zhaoxi, and others would likely be too lazy to move and continue to stay above their own Fourth Grade Spirit Vein territories, perfectly positioning a Golden Core Cultivator in every valuable area of the Eastern Wilderness.
And Chen Mobai would sit in Northern Abyss City, overlooking the three domains.
Meng Hong, Luo Xue’er, Luo Yixuan, and the future Golden Core Cultivators Zhuo Ming and Yin Qingmei – a party of five.
Chen Mobai intended for them to be responsible for exploring the many mysterious places such as Yun Meng Ze, the Ruins, and the Boundless Sand Sea…
According to the norms of the Immortal Gate, if these three places could also be developed, their resources likely wouldn’t be inferior to those of the Eastern Wilderness.
A grand and ambitious plan with Northern Abyss City at its core had already taken shape in Chen Mobai’s mind.
With Zhou Shengqing reaching “Nascent Soul Formation” and the sect’s power and influence growing stronger, Chen Mobai decided not to lie low any longer but to bravely realize this grand ambition which had been buried deep in his heart for so long.
Next was a three-step plan.
Chen Mobai summoned his eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo.
“Run a trip to Back to Sky Valley and deliver this letter to Yan Shaoyin; if he agrees, you’ll return to Giant Tree Ridge and have Yue Zutao collect these herbs and deliver them to Yan Shaoyin.”
This was Chen Mobai’s letter asking Yan Shaoyin to refine Golden Liquid Jade Pills. Even if the Divine Wood Sect and Back to Sky Valley collected the herbs together, it would take a considerable amount of time.
And with the alchemy process factored in, it was conservatively estimated it would take three to five years.
This was mainly because the Divine Wood Sect had already gathered quite a few cultivators at the completion of Foundation Establishment, and Chen Mobai felt it was time to refine Golden Liquid Jade Pills.
Moreover, Chen Mobai speculated that Yan Shaoyin was very likely to refuse.
That’s because the Divine Wood Sect was already hard to control, and if another Golden Core Cultivator were to be added, not even the True Persons from the five lines of the Five Elements Sect allied with Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace would be a match.
If Yan Shaoyin wanted to strive for the time to reach “Nascent Soul Formation,” he would definitely try to delay.
For this, Chen Mobai had already thought of all the counter-strategies.
“Yes, Master!”
Liu Wenbo took the letter and left with his orders. Before leaving, he had Song Huangdae stay behind. This bargain-disciple, if nothing else, was quite clever in handling matters; he was already managing the affairs of Little Nan Mountain Shop in Rock Country with no issues.
And Chen Mobai also needed someone to handle miscellaneous tasks by his side.
After the eldest disciple, Chen Mobai called over his younger disciple.
“Zong Heng, take a look at this map of the Eastern Wilderness; do you notice anything amiss?”
Jiang Zongheng entered and, upon Chen Mobai’s gesture, approached to examine the map of the Eastern Wilderness laid out in the great hall, made to scale by an Earth Master with varied elevations.
“Disciple is dull of wit and has noticed nothing.”
Jiang Zongheng spoke truthfully; Chen Mobai laughed and pointed to the varied borderline of nineteen different countries on the map of the Eastern Wilderness.
“There are far too many mortal regimes; only one is necessary!”
