I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1259: Chapter 692 Confluence of Two Rivers Chapter 1259: Chapter 692 Confluence of Two Rivers Chen Mobai simply wanted to express how difficult it was to collect a batch of Infant-Feeding Elixir ingredients and to reinforce Yan Shaoyin’s determination, never expecting an unexpected gain.

In fact, even if he had not produced the Golden Liquid Jade Pills, he would have agreed in the end.

But since they were offered willingly, how could he refuse them?

With these five Golden Liquid Jade Pills, it would be possible to somewhat balance out those cultivators in the Sect at the Foundation Establishment Completion stage.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai became increasingly fond of Ye Bopei.

He thought that once Yan Shaoyin died and Back to Sky Valley surrendered, this youngster could be put in charge.

After E Yun sent Ye Bopei away, Chen Mobai started instructing Yue Zutao at Giant Tree Ridge to begin collecting the medicinal ingredients for the Infant-Feeding Elixir.

The auxiliary medicines were easy to discuss, but each of the twelve main medicinal ingredients was a rare treasure of heaven and earth.

According to the contract, the Divine Wood Sect was responsible for six of them.

Because Chen Mobai had given early instructions, Yue Zutao had basically prepared everything, just waiting for his command to harvest.

However, only three types were available within the Sect, lacking the Rank-4 Tai Sui Flesh, Rank-4 Ice Heart Divine Lotus, and Rank-4 Sky Blue Silverlight Grass.

Of these, the Ice Heart Divine Lotus was a supreme treasure of the Snow-blowing Palace. Chen Mobai had instructed Yue Zutao to negotiate with them in advance. Initially, Zhu Jinyu disagreed, but after the Divine Wood Sect secured the Water and Fire Veins of the Five Elements Sect, her attitude abruptly changed.

A contract was set last year, agreeing that they could take it when needed, without paying any Spirit Stones, and requiring only a promise from Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect.

That promise was that the Divine Wood Sect Monks would not attack the Snow-blowing Palace.

In response, Chen Mobai readily promised that as long as the Snow-blowing Palace adhered to the righteous path and did not commit acts that harm heaven and reason, those under the Divine Wood Sect would definitely not invade the Snow-blowing Palace.

As for the Sky Blue Silverlight Grass, it was not to be found in the Eastern Wilderness, but the Sun family in Dongwu had it.

Chen Mobai wrote a letter and had Yu Lian make a trip to Wind Rain Hamlet to give it to Nu Jiang, hoping he would assist in negotiating with the Sun family there.

The only one left was the Rank-4 Tai Sui Flesh, and that Chen Mobai would have to figure out by himself.

However, the six main medicinal ingredients they were collecting were relatively easy to handle.

You must know, among Immortal Gates, the most critical ingredient for the Infant-Feeding Elixir was the Rank-5 Vermilion Fruit, which they did not have. Thus, after deliberating with Yan Shaoyin, they chose the Rank-5 Sun Holy Fruit from Sun Bathing Sea as a substitute.

This was the most precious among the twelve main ingredients and also the most difficult to obtain.

But Chen Mobai was very straightforward, stating that the Divine Wood Sect had an average relationship with Sun Bathing Sea and certainly wouldn’t be able to request this ingredient. If Master Yan intended to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir, then it was up to him to find a way to obtain the Sun Holy Fruit.

Initially, Yan Shaoyin did not agree, but later he realized that he needed the Infant-Feeding Elixir more desperately, so he had no choice but to consent.

Now, since Yan Shaoyin planned to refine the Infant-Feeding Elixir, it certainly meant that he had already found a way to obtain the Sun Holy Fruit from Sun Bathing Sea, or perhaps he had already acquired it.

It was unclear whether it was due to Yan Shaoyin’s own connections or the clout of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild.

However, Chen Mobai swiftly put this matter aside because he needed to figure out a way to level up the Tai Sui Flesh he had on hand.

The Tai Sui was with Zhuo Ming, but she was currently entertaining people from the Starry Sky Commerce Guild and had no time to bring the Tai Sui over.

Chen Mobai had wanted to go to Rainbow Country personally, but considering he had just told Lou Xuelong how busy he was, going there now would be a bit like slapping his own face. He decided to wait until after they finished observing the Dari Purple Rice flowering.

He had no worries about Zhuo Ming’s competency with Spirit Plants.

He remembered that at the start, when that Golden Core Cultivator from Star Heaven Dao Sect, Gu Zhiqin, came over to guide the planting of Dari Purple Rice, he was full of pride, thinking that the small sects and schools of East Wasteland Village, without their full process oversight and assistance, would never succeed in cultivating such precious Spirit Rice!

But later on, Zhuo Ming easily shocked Gu Zhiqin. She learned the entire procedure for planting Dari Purple Rice after only watching it once, and after practicing two or three times, she did it even better than the Sect Disciples brought by Gu Zhiqin from Star Heaven Dao Sect.

When Gu Zhiqin left after two years, he even asked Zhuo Ming if she wanted to switch allegiances.

This was, of course, firmly rejected by Zhuo Ming.

This matter was later recounted to Chen Mobai by Zhuo Ming herself, and after hearing it, while he took pride, he also noted the name Gu Zhiqin.

This was his first encounter with someone daring to poach from his Sect.

The Star Heaven Dao Sect was not someone they could afford to provoke at the moment; reckonings would be settled in the future.

For this reason, Chen Mobai did not wish to have too many interactions with people from the Star Heaven Dao Sect, to avoid difficulties when it came time to turn against them.

Since they had to wait for the news from Nu Jiang anyway and Yue Zutao needed time to collect the rest of the auxiliary medicines, the matter of leveling up the Tai Sui Flesh could wait.

It was during this time, coincidentally, that another event occurred which brought great joy.

That was the completion and convergence of the Two Rivers.

The super-project, originally planned to take twenty to thirty years, was surprisingly completed in nearly half the expected time.

Since the opening of the Two Rivers, it had been exactly sixteen years.

In the first five years, Zhuo Ming and the others were inexperienced, all exploring on their own. Though they hired Loose Cultivators from Northern Abyss City through E Yun, progress was slow.

In the subsequent five years, the harvest of Spirit Rice had grown massively, drawing in Disciples from the Divine Wood Sect and various Immortal Cultivation families. The project’s pace finally caught up with the plan, booming with development.

Another five years passed, and Chen Mobai personally took charge, intervening decisively. He arranged for Divine Wood Sect Foundation Establishment and elite Qi Cultivating Disciples to stay on the Eastern Desolation Plateau. Together with Luo Xue’er refining Heterodox Golden Cores and Luo Yixuan no longer needing to conceal her Core Formation strength, the two, putting forth their full effort, made the excavation of the two great rivers progress more than threefold compared to before.

In this final year, preparations for the convergence of the Two Rivers were actually underway.

Today, at last, the work was complete!

As Sect Leader and the chief person in charge of this project, Chen Mobai naturally rushed to the site immediately.

The completion site of the Two Rivers convergence was precisely at the border of Sky Country, Rock Country, and Rainbow Country.

This was the most fulfilling project in a century for the Sect, aside from wars. Especially since it was personally directed by Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader, on this day, the Town Guards from all three countries brought their subordinates to attend.

It was a day with gentle breezes and bright sunshine, clear skies as far as the eye could see.

Chen Mobai stood on the banks of the convergence of the Two Rivers, looking down at the endless, surging streams below, and couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

To his left and right stood Luo Yixuan and Luo Xue’er, the two Golden Core Female Cultivators of the Sect.

Since Luo Yixuan had condensed a Ghost Pill, to prevent Gu Zhiqin, sent by the Star Heaven Dao Sect, from detecting anything amiss, Chen Mobai used the excuse of being short on manpower to call this Disciple over to take Zhuo Ming’s place in opening up the White River.

It was initially said to be a temporary measure for two years, until Gu Zhiqin left, after which she would return.

However, later on, Chen Mobai realized that with this Disciple present, he could worry less, and so he had her continue to oversee the opening of the Two Rivers.

Behind the two women stood the three Town Guards: E Yun, Zhou Wangshen, and Yan Yuanhao.

Further out were forty-six Foundation Establishment Disciples from the Divine Wood Sect who had devoted much effort to this grand project.

Initially, they had only wanted to please the Sect Leader’s lineage and earn some Spirit Stones, but over the years, they forgot their original intentions. Witnessing the torrential convergence of the Two Rivers, their eyes began to shine with pride.

Furthest out were contractors from the major families and Sects. They had also made indelible, tremendous contributions to this monumental project, and were thus invited to witness the ceremony.

Chen Mobai delivered an impassioned speech that elicited waves of vigorous applause.

Then, eagerly, Zhou Wangshen brought out a massive stone and placed it at the bank, asking the Sect Leader to name the river that flowed towards Rainbow Country after the convergence.

Chen Mobai pondered for a moment.

He had previously considered “Xuanhe,” but now felt it was somewhat lacking in grandeur.

He took up the Chasing Sun Pen that Zhou Shengqing had gifted him and began pacing back and forth in front of the stone.

No one dared to disturb him, all waiting for the Sect Leader to put pen to stone.

In short order, Chen Mobai stopped pacing, stood in front of the giant rock, and wrote down two characters.

“Dark Water”!

The crowd did not understand the meaning.

But they hadn’t understood the naming of Mo River and White River previously either; whatever the Sect Leader wished to call them, that’s what they would be called!

From that day forth, the river formed by the confluence of the Two Rivers, flowing towards Rainbow Country, was named “Dark Water”.

Only Luo Yixuan, standing at the side, felt a mix of excitement and disbelief upon seeing the characters for Dark Water: “Master couldn’t have named it after me, could he?”

On the return journey, Luo Yixuan rode on Chen Mobai’s “Red Misty Cloud Silk” back with him.

“Master, why is it called Dark Water?” she asked, holding a mixture of hope and fear of disappointment.

Chen Mobai, seeing his Disciple’s expression and carefully thinking, understood her feelings, and couldn’t help but smile slightly, continuing to speak in line with her hopes.

“Ming’er came to Eastern Desolation Plateau to open up the Two Rivers; it is with your escort that I rest assured. At the beginning, many of the perilous and critical waterways of White River were cleared only with your intervention.”

“Later, when Ming’er went to Rainbow Country to treat the sand and plant Spirit Rice, I was often in retreat and could not provide care, relying entirely on your diligent efforts to lead the Sect Disciples and contractors to successfully complete this project.”

“It can be said that in the convergence of the Two Rivers, your contribution is even greater than Ming’er’s, or Luo Xue’er’s.”

“Therefore, I hope that future generations will remember you, the behind-the-scenes hero, by the name of Dark Water!”

On hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Luo Yixuan was overcome with excitement, her fair melon-seed-shaped face couldn’t help but lift with pride yet retaining modesty, causing her cheeks to flush with color. The hardships of digging the river for many years were swept away at this moment, and she couldn’t help but volunteer herself eagerly!

“Master, let me take charge of opening up Dark Water. I guarantee that Senior Sister Zhuo will not lack a water source during her sand treatment project,” she declared.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai was overjoyed.

“Very good, Xuan’er, you indeed are the most considerate Disciple for your master. This grand task, I can only rest assured if it is in your hands!”
