I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 932: Chapter 513 Rank-3 Talisman Paper and Ink_2 Chapter 932: Chapter 513 Rank-3 Talisman Paper and Ink_2 “I am merely acting as the hall master,” said Yin Qingmei. “After you, Elder Chen, have established your core, you will automatically become the master of our Reward Virtue Hall. From now on, you may call me ‘Niece-in-Discipline’ or just ‘Xue’er’.”

Although Divine Wood Sect had no written rule, Zhou Shengqing was the master of Shenmu Hall, and Fu Zongjue was the master of Penalty Evil Hall. Even before Meng Hong attempted core formation, preparations were being made for him to take over the Reward Virtue Hall.

However, because Meng Hong’s attempt failed, the plans were put on hold. Luo Xue’er had acted steadily in the subsequent decade and ensured logistics were without faults during the two wars, earning her merit without mistakes. It was only natural that she came to control Reward Virtue Hall.

Even though she was referred to by everyone in the sect as the master of Reward Virtue Hall, she remained very clear about her position.

Upon hearing the news of Chen Mobai’s core formation, she proposed at the most recent sect meeting that the Reward Virtue Hall had long lacked senior leadership guidance. The staff, including herself, were overly cautious in their duties and urgently needed Elder Chen to preside as the hall master of Reward Virtue Hall.

This would also fulfill the achievement of having all three hall masters in Divine Wood Sect to be Golden Core Cultivators.

Her proposal was naturally passed unanimously, but it’s not just about the agreement of people like Chu Zuoshu, it depends on whether Elder Chen is willing or not.

However, Chen Mobai had only returned two days ago, just met Zhou Shengqing, and was in retreat pondering over the Red Flame Sword Jue, so Chu Zuoshu hadn’t had the chance to come and consult him yet.

Instead, it was Luo Xue’er who was in luck to be summoned by Chen Mobai, getting to meet the leader ahead of time.

“The master of the Reward Virtue Hall, huh? That works.”

Chen Mobai thought for a moment and without much hesitation, he nodded in agreement.

He had once, long ago when he first joined Divine Wood Sect, wondered if he would one day become the sect leader.

More than twenty years passed and unexpectedly, he had skipped the role of sect leader and directly become an elder of the sect.

“Does the Reward Virtue Hall have any stock of Golden Sun Talisman Paper and Red Flame Gold Ink?”

Chen Mobai didn’t forget the matter at hand and asked Luo Xue’er about the spirit materials needed to refine the Golden Flame Sword Talisman.

“Elder Chen, there are still three hundred and sixty-seven pieces of Golden Sun Talisman Paper in stock, but unfortunately we have no Red Flame Gold Ink.”

Luo Xue’er spoke honestly, with a tinge of nervousness in her eyes. This was the first task assigned by the leader, and she hadn’t managed to fulfill it satisfactorily. She wondered what punishment she might face.

“Oh, why are there so many talisman papers but not a single piece of talisman ink?”

Chen Mobai was curious. The Rank-3 talisman paper and ink ought to be complementary, right?

“In our sect, Zhou Laozu is a Fourth-Rank Talisman Master, and the heads and deputy heads of the Talisman Making Department are Rank-3 Talisman Masters. However, they all practice the Longevity Scripture and specialize in wood attribute talismans. Hence, the sect has always stocked Qinghua Spirit Ink. Red Flame Gold Ink was only prepared once by Zhou Laozu himself, and that was thirty years ago. I believe it has all been used up by now,” explained Luo Xue’er.

After hearing Luo Xue’er’s explanation, Chen Mobai had a moment of realization.

It was because there were no Rank-3 Talisman Masters in the sect who practiced the Red Flame Sword Jue.

Aside from him, the most proficient person in this sword technique within Divine Wood Sect was the head of the Sword Training Department, Xie Yuntian. However, he was focused on cultivating his Sword Dao Realm. He had barely managed to master the Green Flames Sword Slaughter and was only limited to using talismans.

“Put up a task in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion under my name, to collect the various spirit materials required for the Red Flame Gold Ink. Deduct the Contribution Points directly from my account. If it’s not enough, let me know, and I’ll personally supplement it with Spirit Stones.”

The price of Rank-3 spirit materials was exceptionally high in the Eastern Wilderness.

And Chen Mobai planned to purchase these ingredients for the long term, as he was now a Nascent Soul Ancestor in the sect, practically untouchable. Whether he took the raw materials to the Immortal Gate’s factories for processing or bought equipment to set up his own workshop in the Eastern Wilderness, he could cover it all.

“Elder, you worry too much. Your account currently has over a million sect Contribution Points. Even if you bought all the spirit materials in Giant Tree Ridge needed to refine the Red Flame Gold Ink, it would still be more than enough.”

“Eh? Why is that?”

Chen Mobai was puzzled upon hearing Luo Xue’er’s comment. He didn’t remember having such an extensive amount of contribution.

Could it be a welfare provision for Golden Core Cultivators provided by the sect?

“Elder, have you forgotten? When you handed over the Spirit Rice to the sect, you had an agreement with the sect leader.”

Reminded by Luo Xue’er, Chen Mobai suddenly recalled.

The sect’s Spirit Rice needed to be purchased at ten times its value in contribution points, but initially, due to the large quantity provided by Chen Mobai, an agreement was made with the sect to only take a tenth, with the remaining nine-tenths withheld by the sect until after his core formation.

Upon hearing about the situation in the Rock Country, Chu Zuoshu, without waiting for Chen Mobai to return, added this portion directly to his account.

Besides these, since Chen Mobai had slain Nanxuan Jing, an enemy golden core cultivator in the Rock Country and stood out as the most meritorious, Chu Zuoshu suggested an additional reward of one million sect contribution points.

Of course, Chu Zuoshu, as the sect leader, didn’t have the authority to grant such a large reward. He could at most make decisions involving up to one hundred thousand points, while an expenditure of a million required a meeting approval from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions, followed by a report to the nascent soul ancestors.

This process was naturally passed unanimously. The heads of the Divine Wood Sect Three Halls and Twelve Divisions were savvy individuals–who would dare to block Elder Chen?

After Fu Zongjue returned, he saw the proposal made by Chu Zuoshu and didn’t even blink, immediately approving it.

So, unbeknownst to Chen Mobai, his sect contribution points had already broken through a million!

He became the richest man in the sect, second only to the two ancestors.

This was indeed the treatment a golden core ancestor of the Divine Wood Sect should have. Chen Mobai knew well that the sect was actually indebted to Zhou Shengqing.

After all, every action taken by a golden core cultivator on behalf of the sect is a great contribution, starting at a hundred thousand points. Accumulated over the years, the sect would eventually be in debt.

[With this calculation, the Purple Electric Sword really came cheap.]

After listening to Luo Xue’er explain the sect’s compensation for each action made by golden core cultivators, Chen Mobai compared it with the rewards he had received and couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

This time, in the Rock Country, the Purple Electric Sword made a move and, having absorbed enough Thunder Essence, generously waived the spirit stones.

After Luo Xue’er left, Chu Zuoshu, who received the news, immediately rushed over.

“I greet Elder Chen!”

“Between you and me, brothers in arms, such formalities are unnecessary.”

Chen Mobai personally got up to help Chu Zuoshu to his feet, but the latter was somewhat flustered.

In the Tianhe Realm, one’s seniority was always determined by one’s cultivation realm.

And the difference between core formation and foundation establishment was like that between heaven and earth.

Chu Zuoshu was acutely aware of the significance of the golden core realm and understood that the war with the Nanxuan Sect in the Rock Country was a matter of the sect’s survival, so he held Chen Mobai, who had slain Nanxuan Jing, in the highest respect.

“You are about the right age. I heard from Fu Shixiong that you already received the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill. When do you plan to attempt core formation?”

When Chen Mobai returned, he first met with Fu Zongjue and learned about this matter from him.

Chen Mobai’s successful core formation had greatly boosted morale, so Fu Zongjue was thinking about whether the sect could produce another golden core cultivator.

Chu Zuoshu had been born and raised in the Divine Wood Sect, facing life and death with it, following it all the way from the Five Elements Sect era to now. Aside from the recent war with the Nanxuan Sect in the Rock Country, he had been leading in all other matters while at the peak of foundation establishment, in the absence of golden core cultivators.

In the twenty years as the sect leader, not only did the sect’s territory expand, but talented disciples such as Chen Mobai, Yin Qingmei, and Hong He also grew rapidly, making significant contributions.

Granting him the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill was also a well-deserved reward.

“I was just about to seek Elder Chen’s insights on the intricacies of core formation.”

Fu Zongjue said with excitement.

In the Tianhe Realm, cultivators always prioritized the pursuit of breaking through realms.

Compared to that, all desires like sect leader positions, beauty, and wine were considered distractions, demons of the heart, to be struck down with a sword.

So, with the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill in hand and Chen Mobai as a successful example, Chu Zuoshu was already looking for someone to succeed him as sect leader, preparing to go into seclusion for core formation.

“I’ve heard that Hong He has also returned. Call him and Yin Qingmei over, and I will explain the key points of core formation to all of you together.”
