I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 960: 527 Chapter 960: 527 “Reporting to the Sect Leader, this is the Mo Xuedan… this is the Qiao Yuandan… this is…”

Zeng Woyou, worthy of being the head of the Alchemy Department, opened and sniffed each pill one by one, stating the name and effects of each elixir. However, when it came to a black pill, he seemed unsure.

“This might be the Blood Straining Gold Elixir. After taking it, one could fully recover from injuries and even achieve a higher level. It’s a demonic elixir that hasn’t circulated in the market, and I’ve never seen it before, so I can’t be certain.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai remembered the encounter with Nanxuan Jing and approved of Zeng Woyou’s judgment, nodding his head.

“Is this perhaps… the Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan?”

At the very end, Zeng Woyou looked at a dark golden pill the size of a thumb, his voice trembling.

“Oh, is this elixir famous?”

Chen Mobai asked somewhat curiously.

“This is the most famous elixir of the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace. No matter who takes it, they can extend their lifespan by twenty years.”

“Extend lifespan!”

Chen Mobai was shocked upon hearing this.

This meant extending the innate lifespan, which was the most precious type of elixir even among the Immortal Gates. He hadn’t expected the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace to possess such an exquisite elixir.

“Though the effectiveness of the Xu Tian Wu Jin Dan decreases with successive use, it’s still hailed as the number one Spirit Pill in the East Barbarians. The Golden Wind Ancestor has relied on this elixir to barely cling to life until now.”

After hearing Zeng Woyou’s explanation, Chen Mobai nodded in agreement.

This was indeed the most precious item in Nanxuan Jing’s storage bag. However, whether it could be consumed still needed to be checked by professionals.

Thinking about whether he should fly to Wangwu Cave Heaven to meet Qing Nu at the end of the year, or have Qing Nu come to Yu Wood City to find him, Chen Mobai’s Heavenly Communication Device suddenly rang.

It was Yue Zutao looking for him.

After sending Zeng Woyou away, Chen Mobai answered the Heavenly Communication Device and, upon learning of the situation, notified the inner cabinet to convene a meeting.

After categorizing and dealing with the items in Nanxuan Jing’s storage bag, Chen Mobai looked up again at the Everlife Wood where Zhou Shengqing was located.

As the signs of Nascent Soul Formation became more and more resplendent, the spiritual energy of Giant Tree Ridge became increasingly uncontrollable.

This left the Sect Disciples who remained at Giant Tree Ridge complaining endlessly.

“Sect Leader, the Qi Cultivating Disciples now do not dare to meditate and cultivate.”

Listening to Yue Zutao’s report, Chen Mobai also felt a bit of a headache.

The spiritual energy of Giant Tree Ridge was being drawn by Zhou Shengqing’s Transforming Infant, such that even he, a Golden Core Cultivator, could only barely compete for it.

Foundation Establishment Practitioners were better off, wealthy enough to use spiritual energy from Spirit Stones for their cultivation in the short term.

But the Qi Practitioners couldn’t do that. Many disciples were struggling, keeping Spirit Stones only for critical moments when breaking through their realms.

So now that they couldn’t absorb nature’s spiritual energy, the Qi Cultivating Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect had started to grumble.

Chen Mobai: “How many Qi Cultivating Disciples do we have in the sect currently?”

Yue Zutao: “There are 2,687 registered disciples, with about 1,500 of them in Giant Tree Ridge. Recently, quite a few disciples have been taking on tasks at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, preparing to leave.”

The Divine Wood Sect claimed to have three thousand Qi Cultivators, but after three consecutive wars, they had lost four to five hundred Disciples. However, two years ago, they recruited a couple of hundred more from the six countries, replenishing some new blood.

When the Six Nation Town Guards left the Sect, they also took about a hundred or so Qi Cultivating Disciples each with them.

Among these were not only the basic Qi Cultivators but also many former true inheritors.

For instance, Qi Hou, known by Chen Mobai, went to Rock Country with E Yun.

After failing their Foundation Establishment twice, these individuals had their Essence Blood and Elemental Energy somewhat depleted, and within the Sect, they couldn’t compete with the new true inheritors; they basically had no chance of receiving a Foundation Building Pill again, so they wished to gamble on one last chance.

It is precisely because of this that those who are still in the Divine Wood Sect are the core members and the future.

“Let’s all share our thoughts and see if there’s a way to solve this,”

Chen Mobai sat at the main seat in one of the side halls of Shenmu Hall, while Meng Hong, Mu Yuan, Yue Zutao, Xi Jinghuo, Luo Xue’er, and Yan Jinye took their seats on both sides.

This was essentially the embryonic form of the inner cabinet. Today was their first meeting, called to discuss the issue of Qi Cultivating Disciples being unable to sit in meditation and absorb spiritual energy.

“Let’s distribute Spirit Stones to everyone,” Xi Jinghuo was the first to speak up. “Zhou Laozu’s ‘Nascent Soul Formation’ will last at most two years, so we can give the Qi Cultivating Disciples in Giant Tree Ridge five Low-grade Spirit Stones every month, which is just over ten thousand stones in total.”

Xi Jinghuo had just made a suggestion, but Luo Xue’er, who was in control of Reward Virtue Hall, immediately shook her head in refusal. She knew the current situation of the sect’s reserves best.

Luo Xue’er, “Three major battles have almost exhausted our sect’s reserve of Spirit Stones. The remaining ones need to be conserved for emergencies, and we’re already replacing the Spirit Stones normally issued as salaries with Spirit Rice. We really can’t afford to spare any extra Spirit Stones. I have no objections if they are willing to sign IOUs.”

Yue Zutao, “These Spirit Stones are essential for the Qi Cultivating Disciples’ cultivation in Giant Tree Ridge. If we ask them to sign IOUs, I’m afraid we’ll truly lose the people’s hearts.”

Yan Jinye, “Then how about distributing Elixirs?”

Ever since Chen Mobai spread his teachings, the Qi Cultivating Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who were eager for Foundation Establishment no longer consumed Elixirs as unrestrainedly as before. However, the price of such substances remained high on the outside market and was still very popular among Loose Cultivators and the lower-ranked disciples.

Chen Mobai, “Nephew Meng, do you have any insights?”

After everyone had taken their turn to speak, Chen Mobai saw that Meng Hong remained calm and composed, so he turned to him and asked.

Meng Hong, “Reporting to the Sect Leader, it is absolutely impossible to distribute Spirit Stones, Elixirs, and other subsidies.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned toward him. Chen Mobai smiled slightly, signaling for him to continue.

“If we were to distribute, we would have to consider not only the disciples within the sect but also those outside, because it is not scarcity we fear but uneven distribution. If we do that, the disciples in Giant Tree Ridge would feel they’ve been treated unfairly. How can they accept that outsiders enjoy the same benefits they’ve suffered for within the sect? Such balance is impossible to maintain.”

Realization dawned on the others as they listened to Meng Hong’s analysis.

Indeed, experience speaks for itself; the way he looked at the issue was deeper and more thorough than them.

Chen Mobai, “Then in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?”

Meng Hong, “The best way is to pretend ignorance. If any disciple below dares to complain about this, it’ll be a sign of disloyalty to the sect. We can just dispatch the Penalty Evil Hall to apprehend and suppress them!”

Upon hearing this statement, everyone fell into contemplation.

Chen Mobai observed Meng Hong, who spoke such harsh words with a calm expression, and couldn’t help feeling that things indeed were different here in the Eastern Wilderness compared to the Immortal Gates; there was no need to consider public resentment here. What they were best at was high-pressure governance.

In comparison to Zhou Shengqing’s ‘Nascent Soul Formation,’ even if all the Qi Cultivating Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect were sacrificed, Meng Hong would probably find it acceptable.

Chen Mobai, “Does anyone else have something different to say?”

Yue Zutao looked hesitant, but after giving it some more thought, he still felt that Meng Hong’s approach was the most suitable for the current situation.

“Within the sect, how many tasks can we distribute?”

Seeing that they had fallen silent again, Chen Mobai asked another question.

“Reporting to Sect Leader, regular tasks like inspections of other institutes, harvesting from the Spirit Field Medicine Fields, and nurturing Spirit Beasts can accommodate assigning tasks for another 300 disciples.”

Luo Xue’er immediately responded, as all the Spirit Stone budgets for the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions were distributed by her annually, so she had a rough estimate of these projects.

Chen Mobai, “What about Yun Meng Ze?”

This question prompted the others to look at each other in bewilderment.

Being the foremost treasure land of the Eastern Wilderness, it could accommodate not just the Divine Wood Sect but half of the Qi Practitioners in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

“Leave a sufficient number of people able to activate the Array of Ten Thousand Woods, open hunting missions for Demonic Beasts to the sect disciples, and send them to the Fang Market in Yun Meng Ze.”

“We can also allocate some personnel to the six nations: the mining operations in Rock Country, the fisheries of Yun Country, the Spirit Fruits of Rain Country, and so on. Let the town guards of each country coordinate this. It provides mutual benefits and manpower.”

“As for the remaining disciples within the sect, let the Formation Division and Spirit Vein Division work together to designate an area, set up a formation to stabilize the spiritual energy, and allow them to cultivate normally.”
