I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 904: Chapter 500: An Old Case Chapter 904: Chapter 500: An Old Case “It’s been a long time.”

In a certain low-profile club, after being brought inside by Lin Yin, Chen Mobai met Lan Haitian.

“Sit.”

Lan Haitian gestured for Chen Mobai to sit down at the teatable by the window. Lin Yin soon left, closing the door behind her.

If this were in any other place within the Immortal Gate, a conversation between two Golden Core Masters would easily make the front page of any news.

Unfortunately, this was Wangwu Cave Heaven.

The very center of the Immortal Gate.

“Congratulations on your Core Formation. To be honest, although I felt that you would reach this Realm sooner or later, I truly didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.”

“Thank you.”

Lan Haitian said reflectively. Chen Mobai gave a slight smile, showing neither modesty nor boastfulness.

He knew that someone like Lan Haitian wouldn’t seek him out without an important matter. The more he engaged in pleasantries with these people, the more likely he was to be led astray. Better to wait for Lan Haitian to get to the point.

At that moment, the door opened again, and Lin Yin entered with a tray, upon which rested a complete set of tea brewing tools, along with tea leaves and cups.

While Chen Mobai and Lan Haitian talked, both admired Lin Yin’s graceful tea brewing movements, her elegant posture betraying no hint that she was the notoriously fierce leader of the sixth group of the Sky-Mending Group, with blood on her hands.

Lan Haitian: “May I ask you something?”

Chen Mobai: “Please do.”

Lan Haitian: “After Core Formation, why did you choose to go to Yu Wood City’s Qing Sang Academy?”

Chen Mobai hadn’t anticipated Lan Haitian’s question. He had thought it would be about Qing Nu and Kong Feichen, especially since the latter was involved with the Ascension Sect, considered the sworn enemy of their Sky-Mending Group.

“It’s the Daoist Academy’s intention, I suppose. After my Core Formation, Master Chengxuan wanted me to stay and guard the Treasure Trove at Crimson Mountain. That way, I could rightfully keep the Vermillion Fruit and other Baby-forming Spiritual Things for myself, but I felt that it would be too easy to obtain them that way.”

“My Core Formation was already somewhat rushed. If I don’t properly refine my foundation, I worry that my Realm would be unsubstantial, impeding my success in Nascent Soul Formation.”

“I didn’t wish to stay at Crimson Mountain, but out of respect for my teachers and the path, Che Laoshi personally intervened to mediate. He had me first join the teaching staff of the Daoist Academy and then dispatched me to be a school principal.”

“My longing for my hometown is strong, but unfortunately, Dan Zhu and Chixia, the two great academies, already have Golden Core Masters in charge. The only choice I had left was Qing Sang Academy, which has the backing of Dance Tool Dao Academy nearby.”

There was no need to conceal any of this, so Chen Mobai laid out both the reasons and motivations in one go.

Lan Haitian hadn’t thought much of it yet. Lin Yin, who was brewing tea, stopped mid-motion when she heard the keywords “Vermillion Fruit” and “Nascent Soul,” nearly spilling the brewed tea.

She glanced at the refined young man sitting nearby and felt a wave of guilt.

This was the foremost genius of their era in the Immortal Gate!

Already contemplating Nascent Soul Formation.

Why did it seem that his Talent surpassed even that of Deputy Chief Lan Haitian!

As Lin Yin thought this, she inadvertently handed over a cup of the crisp, clear tea.

“So that’s how it is.”

Lan Haitian, noticing that Lin Yin hadn’t yet poured his tea, said something with a slightly odd look on his face.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with Qing Sang Academy?”

After taking the tea, Chen Mobai asked with slight surprise.

A person like Lan Haitian wouldn’t seek him out over such matters; since he had brought it up, there had to be some secret that Chen Mobai was unaware of.

“Do you remember our meeting in Red Sandstone City?”

“I have few friends within the Immortal Gate. Our profound friendship was forged on the battlefield as we fought side by side; you could say you are my best friend. My memories of Red Sandstone City are vivid and fresh.”

Chen Mobai’s words actually made Lan Haitian feel a tad embarrassed. In his mind, Chen Mobai was merely a junior with good Talent and remarkable skills in Magic Duel.

Initially, the idea was to recruit him into the Sky-Mending Group to replenish the highly precarious ranks of the sixth group. Later, as Chen Mobai became the chief student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy and Lan Haitian obtained a Magical Treasure Embryo before his Core Formation, Lan Haitian continued to patiently answer all his questions even after his own Core Formation.

Lan Haitian asked himself, he had never truly considered Chen Mobai a friend.

Now that Chen Mobai had achieved Core Formation, however, his friendship was indeed worth cultivating. Thus, he continued along the line of conversation.

“After that battle, although we defeated the members of Ascension Sect, we let the bird get away with the snake, marking the mission a failure. For years because of that, Qing Nu has been on our watch list, kept away from sensitive information.”

The words from Lan Haitian alerted Chen Mobai, as he had anticipated, the matter was indeed about Qing Nu and the others.

Chen Mobai: “What does this have to do with Qing Sang Academy?”

Lan Haitian: “The laboratory where the three of them spent their childhood is in Yu Wood City. After the Immortal Gate authorities handled the situation, these test subjects were housed in blessed lands nearby. Qing Nu and the others were thus sent to the orphanage in Red Sandstone City. I thought you went to Qing Sang Academy in Yu Wood City to investigate this matter for Qing Nu after your Core Formation, which is why I volunteered to go there.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared as unperturbed as a gentle breeze or soft cloud, but inside, his heart was churning like a raging sea.
