I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 2185 - 1014_2
Chapter 2185: Chapter 1014_2
Bai Jinghong also immediately changed his tone and simultaneously took out his gift.
Chen Mobai accepted it and upon inspection, found it to be a box of Rank-4 Spiritual Tea, which made him somewhat surprised.
“Does your Bai family also have Rank-4 tea trees?”
Clearly, the most precious possession of the Snow Peak Bai family was the Rank-3 Snow Needle Immortal Bud.
“To answer Sect Leader Martial Uncle, the Snow Needle Immortal Buds of our Bai family were actually transplants and grew successfully; their source was a Rank-4 ancient tea tree located in the ruins…”
After pledging allegiance, Bai Jinghong also began to speak of the true foundation of his family.
The ancestors of the Bai family were originally pioneer cultivators who later took root in the Eastern Wilderness, spreading their descendants. During a chance journey through the ruins, they discovered a hidden Rank-4 spiritual land, within which was a Rank-4 ancient tea tree.
The ancestor of the Bai family took a branch from this ancient tea tree and planted it on their family’s spirit vein. Over several thousand years, three plants adapted and survived, which are the Snow Needle Immortal Buds.
This secret has been passed down by the Foundation Establishment generation of the Bai family.
Before Bai Dingxian died, he told Bai Jinghong.
In recent decades, due to the Five Elements Sect’s dominance, many demonic beasts near the ruins began being drawn away into deeper areas, which allowed Bai Jinghong the opportunity to use the map left by his ancestor to find the ancient tea tree in the ruins.
The reason he was able to stand out and nearly possessed Divine Sense equivalent to Core Formation at the time of Foundation Establishment Completion, was because he consumed a piece of Rank-4 tea leaf every month.
Now that he had succeeded in forming his Golden Core, considering that the Five Elements Sect was already exploring the ruins, it seemed it wouldn’t be long before they found the location of the ancient tea tree, so he offered it up voluntarily, as a contribution.
“See which Golden Core cultivators in the sect are without assignments, have them go to the ruins with Martial Nephew Bai to protect the ancient tea tree, and at a later time when Ming’er has the opportunity, transplant it back to the sect.”
After hearing this, Chen Mobai instructed E Yun who was beside him.
The Enlightenment Tea of his Xiao Nanshan, under Zhuo Ming’s meticulous care and with the feeding of all the tea trees in the Eastern Wilderness, had already been upgraded to Rank-4.
However, after reaching Rank-4, further advancement could only be achieved by absorbing the essence of Rank-4 tea trees.
The ancient tea tree of the Bai family was perfectly suitable.
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
E Yun nodded, and afterwards, Chen Mobai wrote a note for Bai Jinghong to collect a Nascent Soul Cultivation Method from the library in Northern Abyss City. However, considering he had just offered a Rank-4 ancient tea tree, Chen Mobai wrote another note allowing him to collect some special elixirs from Danxia Pavilion.
“These three kinds of elixirs can help you stabilize your realm. Just use this note to collect them.”
The Spirit Stones for these elixirs were recorded on Chen Mobai’s account since the Rank-4 ancient tea tree was needed for his own Enlightenment Tea.
Additionally, Chen Mobai inquired about Bai Jinghong’s Lifespan Artifact.
Bai Jinghong expressed that he didn’t have one.
The Snow Peak Bai family only had Rank-1 Artifact Refining Technique inheritance; their primary occupation was still Spirit Plant Masters.
After saying this, Bai Jinghong somewhat awkwardly took out a Rank-3 lower-grade pair of scissors, which Chen Mobai recognized as the work of Sheng Zhaoxi. It was a prized family heirloom, having been refined at great expense by the Bai family.
“After forming your Golden Core, you can refine your own Lifespan Artifact. I’ll write you a note, go to the Artifact Refining Department and collect a suitable Lifebound Artifact Embryo.”
Chen Mobai stated, with his Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner level, he could refine Lifespan Artifact Embryos with his eyes closed and still achieve fine quality.
Initially, to establish a foothold for South Mountain Shop in the East Land, in addition to Qing Nu’s elixirs, he also refined many fine talismans and artifacts.
Ultimately, it was discovered that although Lifespan Artifact Embryos were of lower grade, they were the most popular.
Because every Foundation Establishment cultivator dreams of forming their Golden Core.
Even for those Golden Core cultivators who mastered Artifact Refining Techniques, items they refined themselves showed defects more clearly over time. As for Golden Core cultivators who didn’t master Artifact Refining Techniques, custom-made artifacts posed even more issues.
Therefore, after discovering the fine products refined by Chen Mobai at South Mountain Shop, those with the means mostly replaced their Lifespan Artifacts.
This made Chen Mobai’s reputation as a master artifact refiner more prominent in the East Land than in the Eastern Wilderness.
In the Eastern Wilderness, it was entirely ordinary for Chen Mobai, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, to be number one in refining.
While in the East Land, every cultivator had some measure of Artifact Refining skill, though their levels varied, everyone was an excellent judge.
In the Tianhe Realm, any artifact once refined must endure many battles, and choosing the wrong artifact could easily cost one’s life.
Even with slight limitations, Chen Mobai’s artifacts still dominated the East Land.
Especially the Lifebound Artifact Embryos, whose rank ceiling was capped at Rank-2 peak; Chen Mobai could even mass-produce them using old equipment sourced from the Immortal Gate.
The precision and flawless nature of industrial-level craftsmanship seemed unbelievable to artisans.
Furthermore, every time the Five Elements Commerce Association transported Chen Mobai’s Lifebound Artifact Embryos to the East Land, they attracted hordes of cultivators eager to buy.
If there was one suitable for the general public, extraordinary prices often were competed over.
Therefore, even before the righteous-demoniac war, when Patriarch Bai Wu promoted Chen Mobai as Yi Yuan Taoist Child in the East Land, most believed it.
