I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1317: Chapter 725 Tallying the Harvest_2 Chapter 1317: Chapter 725 Tallying the Harvest_2 Because of this, among the cultivators who faced the assault of demonic beasts within the Mirage Fog, those attuned to the Five Elements Water Vein suffered the most casualties.

Chen Mobai felt guilty about this as well.

However, cultivators of the Five Elements Meridians had all grown accustomed to this situation.

They even considered it very fortunate that the casualties and injuries from this mission were quite low.

Compared to their Five Elements Sect, of the loose cultivators recruited by Shen Shanqing, only twenty-seven people ultimately returned alive to Northern Abyss City. They lost seventy percent of their group, and among them were three Foundation Establishment practitioners.

This was the normal casualty rate for exploring ruins.

Northern Abyss City.

After Chen Mobai led the cultivators of the Five Elements Meridians back, he immediately announced their disbandment.

Following the customs of the Tianhe Realm, cultivators returning from a life-threatening ordeal would immediately start to sell their spoils from the ruins.

For a time, the prices of demonic beast meat, pelts, and various materials for magic artifacts in Northern Abyss City all began to fall.

Correspondingly, the prices of talismans, Spirit Rice, cultivation techniques and manuals, and so on, all began to rise.

This was because those cultivators returning from the ruins had all acquired a substantial amount of Spirit Stones.

The cultivators of the Five Elements Meridians were doing alright since their own sect had all the various resources they needed. They would only make purchases if they found good quality materials that were also cheap.

But for loose cultivators, their biggest marketplace was Northern Abyss City.

They had almost spent all the Spirit Stones they had earned on their journey, with Little Nan Mountain Shop being the most frequented.

Many loose cultivators came to buy Spirit Rice.

On the way back, Chen Mobai spoke to the disciples of the Five Elements Meridians about the three challenges of Foundation Establishment and did not avoid the group of loose cultivators.

While they knew that long-term consumption of Spirit Rice helped with cultivation, it wasn’t until they heard Chen Mobai’s explanation that they realized its true importance.

For this reason, what should have been the most valued purchase by loose cultivators–elixirs that could enhance one’s cultivation level–strangely saw no price fluctuations during the massive buying spree.

This left the branch store of Back to Sky Valley in Northern Abyss City quite puzzled.

Had their elixirs lost their appeal?

After learning the reason from some loose cultivator, the Foundation Establishment Elder in charge of Back to Sky Valley’s affairs on this side could only curse under his breath.

Meanwhile, Chen Mobai was busy tallying up the gains from the expedition to the ruins.

A Supreme-grade Spirit Stone.

Three three-level Yin Void Bamboos.

Four carcasses of Third-Order demonic beasts.

Four Rank-3 inner pills.

The Spirit Stone would be saved for now, as it was originally unchanged, so he planned to use it for “Nascent Soul Formation” or other critical moments.

As for the three Yin Void Bamboos, Chen Mobai immediately called Zhuo Ming over and asked her to bring them back for cultivation with the Mother Qi of All Things.

Regarding the carcasses of the Third-Order demonic beasts, aside from some beef kept for Zhuo Ming to nourish her body, the rest were handed over to Qi Rui to be taken to Giant Tree Ridge, where the Artifact Refining Department would handle them. The essence of the materials would be kept in the Meritorious Hall Treasury.

When Luo Yixuan returned, Chen Mobai asked her what kind of magic artifact she needed.

With these materials, a tailor-made set could be crafted for her.

And the four most precious Monster Beast Inner Pills had attributes of two earth, one fire, and one wood-earth.

If they could become Heterodox Golden Cores, the fire attribute one would certainly belong to Xie Yuntian; of the two earth attribute ones, Zheng Deming would get one, and Chen Mobai was planning to reserve the other one for Zhuo Ming, just in case.

The last one with wood-earth attributes was a bit tricky.

There was not a single Foundation Establishment practitioner in the Wood Vein who was a perfect match, but because half of it was wood attribute, if they were willing, cultivators of the Longevity Scripture could attempt the refining.

In doing so, they would essentially be giving up on achieving Core Formation.

Because a half-matching Heterodox Golden Core definitely could not assist a cultivator in successfully forming a core.

Chen Mobai wondered if Chu Zuoshu would be willing.

Chen was thinking of this former Sect Leader who had opened the market for the Five Elements Sect in the East Barbarians. Chu Zuoshu had treated him quite well during his term.

It was a shame he was rather aged, but after refining the Heterodox Golden Core, the Longevity Scripture could potentially breakthrough, adding another sixty years to his lifespan.

Even if Core Formation were impossible, this was still a token of his regard.

Chen Mobai finally allocated four Monster Beast Inner Pills, but soon realized he was engaging in a futile effort.

Liu Wenbo handed an urgently delivered letter to Chen Mobai.

It was from Yan Shaoyin.

The key to refining Heterodox Gold Cores was a Rank-4 Alchemist, and there was only one in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Mobai returned to Northern Abyss City, he immediately invited Yan Shaoyin for help.

But Yan Shaoyin didn’t hesitate at all and directly refused by replying to the letter.

Naturally, the reason was also quite sufficient, that he was in the process of refining Infant-Feeding Elixirs.

Chen Mobai set down the letter and thought for a moment, then chose not to press further.

After all, he felt Yan Shaoyin was already pushed to the limit. If he put on more pressure, it would probably either lead to a full-blown conflict or complete negligence.

And without Yan Shaoyin’s assistance, there wouldn’t be a second Rank-4 Alchemist in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Chen Mobai also tried asking Star Heaven Dao Sect for help, but Lou Xuelong said that their Rank-4 Alchemists were basically all occupied with tasks to refine Elixirs, with no spare hands or time.

The main branch of Star Heaven Dao Sect did have an Elder who was proficient in both Alchemy and Artifact Refining and was available, but they demanded a million Spirit Stones as a fee and didn’t even guarantee a success rate.

In other words, if the attempt failed, all losses would fall on Chen Mobai alone.

Chen Mobai wasn’t a fool, so how could he agree to this term.

However, this was the norm in Tianhe Realm.

Regarding this, Chen Mobai could only worry about the four Third-Order Monster Beast Inner Pills.

Without refining them into Heterodox Golden Cores, he would be unable to cultivate a Golden Core fighting force.

At this time, having learned of his troubles from Liu Wenbo, Shen Shanqing took the initiative to visit and offered to help Chen Mobai make connections.

“Zhang Zibo of Dongwu’s Zhang family is also a Rank-4 Alchemist, and he often helps the Sun family in refining Heterodox Gold Cores with skilled techniques. Sect Master Chen could request his assistance.”

Although Dongwu, much like the Eastern Wilderness, was the most remote and weakest among the six realms of the Eastern Region, they often battled with Cloud Dream Marsh Monsters, occasionally obtaining Third-Order Demon Cores.

And precisely because of this, Dongwu had the most Golden Core combat power.

The Sun family alone had as many as twelve. Among them, only five were true Golden Core Cultivators.

Sky Meal Building had also opened quite a few branches there, and Zhang Zibo just happened to be their guest, so he could help make contact.

“Then I’ll trouble Chef Shen.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was also filled with anticipation.

After Shen Shanqing left, he immediately summoned the remaining Foundation Establishment Practitioners in Northern Abyss City to inquire about Zhang Zibo.

“Reporting to the Sect Leader, I have heard of Zhang Zibo. However, he was able to become a Rank-4 Alchemist entirely due to the resources of the Sun family, so basically, he won’t refine Elixirs for anyone outside the Sun family.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly.

Cultivating an alchemist is extremely resource-consuming.

To become a Rank-4 Alchemist, according to the methods of Tianhe Realm, who knows how many precious Elixirs would need to be wasted.

He wondered what method Shen Shanqing had that could persuade Zhang Zibo, a Rank-4 Alchemist, to help.

However, knowing there was such a person, most of Chen Mobai’s worries dissipated.

He could always request Nu Jiang to make another trip, asking the Sun family for assistance.

After all, both families had cooperated for over a hundred years in Yun Meng Ze to fend off Demonic Beasts and shared a deep bond. Last time, he sold them the Heavenly Blue Silverlight Grass, so asking Zhang Zibo to refine Elixirs this time shouldn’t be a problem, right?

He would be gone to the Ruins for an entire month.

During this time, there were two matters that Chen Mobai was most concerned about.

One was that Yu Lian was still missing and hadn’t been found.

Secondly, the Rock Country army had already defeated the allied forces of Summer Country and Flower Country, and after signing an agreement with Back to Sky Valley, Jiang Zongheng swiftly took down Summer Country, while Flower Country, due to the matters with Star Heaven Dao Sect, had not yet allowed the army to enter.

Negotiations with Star Heaven Dao Sect were not going smoothly.

However, Jiang Zongheng had his own methods, and no one knew what he had promised to convince the Flower Country royal family to open the gates and surrender, willingly handing over the entire country.

Thus, the entire Eastern Wilderness realm was now completely unified!
