I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1066: Chapter 583: Gold Core Level 2 Chapter 1066: Chapter 583: Gold Core Level 2 After arranging the affairs of the sect, Chen Mobai announced his seclusion.

“Saint Heir, this is the method to refine the Moonlight Blade.”

The shadow silhouette within Elder Ming’s Soul Nourishing Wood finished speaking, and then looked at the gleaming white crescent blade in Chen Mobai’s hand with reluctant affection.

From now on, this fourth-grade magical weapon would no longer belong to her.

“What a pity, this treasure does not match my attributes.”

Chen Mobai’s divine sense surged into the Moonlight Blade, and after circulating it with the method of treasure refinement, he felt a chill run through his body in return.

“Saint Heir, this magical artifact comes from the Jade Mirror Demon Sect. It is forged by an expert who cultivated the Jade Mirror Frost Soul Cultivation Technique by absorbing the Tai Yin moon’s essence. It inherently restrains methods that are supremely Yang and rigid. After I obtained it, I’ve warmed and cultivated it for several decades, and it has already partially transformed into a Yin Tool. It is normal for it to be unsuitable for Sun World Cultivators…”

Elder Ming spoke up, hoping to dissuade Chen Mobai from the idea of refining the Moonlight Blade.

“Jade Mirror Demon Sect?”

Chen Mobai, however, was very interested in this Demon Sect mentioned by Elder Ming, and he asked for information about the demon path.

Since the Eastern Wilderness is located in the most remote area of the East Land, the knowledge of the conflict between Orthodoxy and Demonic paths at the core of the East Land was mostly hearsay. Coupled with the subconscious information blockade by the Orthodox Holy Lands regarding the Demon Path, it made understanding even more difficult.

Chen Mobai only knew that the Demon Path was famous for a total of eighteen sects, all of which had caused huge waves in history and had strong heritages with Transformation God level powers.

The most recent one was Ming Zun, who emerged from the Tongyou Demon Sect and almost shattered the entirety of the East Land.

And the most complete Netherworld Scripture mentioned by Elder Ming was passed down within this Tongyou Demon Sect.

“In fact, my understanding of the Demon Path is also limited. It’s just because we Ghost Cultivators are also repulsed by the Orthodoxy as evil demons, so under the banner of unity for warmth, we often trade spiritual objects and cultivation techniques every so often, picking up some information in the process.”

“Whenever there is a trade meeting for those considered heterodox and evil, it is Tu Daohua who informs us. I got this Moonlight Blade in one such meeting, in exchange for a fourth-grade Soul Nourishing Wood.”

“If the Saint Heir wishes to acquire more content about the Demon Path, you can let me take over the flesh of your disciple, pretending that I have successfully possessed her, and then contact Tu Daohua.”

Elder Ming was still somewhat persistent, indicating that as long as she took over, Luo Yixuan could immediately form a Ghost Pill, giving the Divine Wood Sect another Golden Core Stage combatant in secret.

“Although possessing the power of Core Formation is no small fortune for a Ghost Cultivator, I do not wish for it to be at the cost of Xuan spending the rest of her life not as a human being.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, his gaze shifted to the young girl in the white dress sitting quietly near the Pure Bamboo, who could only move with effort.

Luo Yixuan heard his words and raised her head to reveal a radiant smile.

“I will listen to my master!”

“`

During this period, Luo Yixuan, with the help of the transplanted Pure Bamboo, had already suppressed a portion of the Yellow Springs Spiritual Power in her body. Moreover, with a Spirit Suppression Talisman drawn by Chen Mobai for assistance, she could barely operate her own body.

Since Luo Yixuan might practice demonic cultivation in the future, only her two disciples, Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue, knew when Chen Mobai brought her back.

In this way, when Luo Yixuan leaves the Divine Wood Sect in the future, there will be no deliberate traces left behind.

Zhuo Ming, after learning of these matters, was very distressed.

When Chen Mobai initially brought back Luo Yixuan, who was immobile, it was Zhuo Ming who came to care for her.

After attempting and verifying the effectiveness of the natural Pure Qi, Chen Mobai allowed the sect to send word to Chu Zuoshu in the East Barbarians, instructing him to purchase higher-grade Pure Bamboo from Kong Sang Valley.

Chu Zuoshu had taken the Golden Liquid Jade Pill in a rented cave dwelling in Golden Crow Immortal City at the end of last year, but unfortunately, due to insufficient foundations, he failed at Core Formation.

Luckily, he was aware of his own limitations. When he detected that he couldn’t complete the crystallization of Spiritual Power, he decisively gave up.

Now Chu Zuoshu is in a period of convalescence, incidentally, he has also opened a small commerce association in the East Barbarians on behalf of the Divine Wood Sect.

From Chen Mobai’s broad perspective, he believed it was crucial for the sect to establish a commerce association that also served as an office in the East Barbarians.

Therefore, when Chu Zuoshu left, he was tasked with this matter, and Luo Xue’er from the Reward Virtue Hall also selected several disciples, to be dispatched to the East Barbarians to develop the market under the guise of a sect mission.

Because they would occasionally sell some Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Wood and Lingye, as well as talisman paper and ink of perfect quality from Chen Mobai’s Puppet Factory, this small commerce association gradually made a name for itself.

After receiving the message from Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu immediately approached the commerce association of Kong Sang Valley in Golden Crow Immortal City.

The shops of the major sects generally sell their own specialties.

Unfortunately, the highest grade of Pure Bamboo available in the Kong Sang Valley store was Rank-3, priced at ten thousand Spirit Stones for six sections. If one wanted to buy a transplantable Rank-3 Pure Bamboo, the price skyrocketed to fifty thousand Spirit Stones per plant.

Moreover, ordinary cultivators did not have the privilege to purchase it. Even those who were qualified had to pre-order, and only then would the local shop arrange for the transfer of goods.

After hearing Chu Zuoshu’s report, Chen Mobai sent a message to Yu Shuji, requesting his help on behalf of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to directly purchase a Rank-3 Pure Bamboo with roots and two sections of six-section Pure Bamboo from the Kong Sang Valley’s sect location.

Yu Shuji, who had just completed a transaction, gave Chen Mobai plenty of face and once again instructed his disciple, Qu XiuXian, to make the trip. However, because he needed to travel back and forth between the Eastern Wilderness and the East Barbarians, it might take some time.

Seeing that Luo Yixuan’s situation was urgent and the Rank-2 Pure Bamboo transplanted from Yin Qingmei’s Qingdai Mountain was almost drained and yellowing, Chen Mobai asked Chu Zuoshu to buy a six-section Pure Bamboo and return to the sect first.

But the local customs in Tianhe Realm are overly hospitable.

Chu Zuoshu had just purchased a Pure Bamboo and left the Golden Crow Immortal City when he was ambushed by two groups of cultivators in the wilderness.

Had it not been for the Spirit Leaf Talisman from Zhou Shengqing on him, and his timely action to scatter the contents of his Storage Bag, using the Pure Bamboo and a shower of Spirit Stones to provoke infighting among his assailants, escaping would not have been easy.

In his reply, Chu Zuoshu was certain that it was the people from the Kong Sang Valley shop in Golden Crow Immortal City who had leaked the information since only they knew he purchased the Rank-3 Pure Bamboo.

“`

Chen Mobai felt speechless upon learning about this matter; he was utterly disappointed with the cultivators’ integrity and character in the Tianhe Realm.

But this was the norm. When the Divine Wood Sect discovered the Void Stone Mine by the Lonely Spirit Ridge, they took the stones to sell in the land of the East Barbarians. On their return, the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace had leaked the information to Ji Zhenshi, allowing the latter to make a fortune.

Indeed, setting up a cross-regional commerce association was not an easy task.

In the future, if there was a need to purchase spiritual objects from outside the Eastern Wilderness, it would be better to go through the Starry Sky Commerce Guild.

As Chen Mobai pondered this, he turned his attention back to the Donghuang map.

Outside, his Divine Wood Sect did not have enough power to be in charge, but here in the Eastern Wilderness, they could start monopolizing the sale of talisman paper and ink, becoming the sole influential player.

The output of Chen Mobai’s upgraded puppet factory had doubled; it could now produce twenty thousand Rank-1 top-quality talisman papers daily.

Over a year, accounting for the necessary maintenance times and having all the machinery operating at full capacity, it could reach 7 million sheets.

At the selling prices in the Tianhe Realm, if all were sold, the yearly income could reach nearly 600,000 Spirit Stones.

“Master, why is there so much talisman paper!” Liu Wenbo trembled slightly as he accepted the storage bag full of nearly ten million talisman papers that Chen Mobai handed to him, “The Little Nan Mountain Shop, established in various countries of the Eastern Wilderness, sells at most three million talisman papers a year.”

With so much talisman paper, it was very likely to result in overstock.

“From now on, when selling, if a cultivator buys ten bundles, we’ll gift one bundle for free.”

Chen Mobai had already thought it through, now that his Divine Wood Sect had the strength to dominate the Eastern Wilderness, it was time for his Little Nan Mountain Shop to become a monopolist.

“Yes, Master!”

Liu Wenbo, after years of experience, had also gained some basic business knowledge and found Chen Mobai’s proposal extremely shrewd.

If they went with the buy-ten-get-one-free strategy, out of the 7 million talisman papers, they should be able to sell around 5 million.

For the remaining over 2 million, Liu Wenbo would think of other promotional strategies, or simply save them to sell the following year.

“Wen Bo, there’s also this.”

Chen Mobai passed another storage bag to Liu Wenbo, who, thinking it contained more talisman papers, accepted it with some shock.

To his surprise, it was filled with talisman ink.

This was the base talisman ink produced by the puppet factory, researched by the Immortal Gates, and was the most popular Rank-1 ink, suitable for drawing tens of thousands of talismans.

However, this was also the result of the Immortal Gates guiding the making of talisman market standards for thousands of years. After all, if talisman factories didn’t adopt this kind of ink, they would only cater to a niche market and slowly perish.

This type of ink was not expensive at the Immortal Gates; it was 500 Good Deed Points per bottle, and if used judiciously, could draw hundreds of talismans.

Chen Mobai’s original puppet factory also produced this talisman ink, but back then, the cultivators in Tianhe Realm were not very receptive to this new type of ink. Although it was of high quality and pure, the market response wasn’t very good.

After all, talisman ink is such that once prepared, it could be used for a long time.

Each Talisman Maker might go through talisman paper quickly, but ink could last at least a year.

Moreover, the Immortal Gates’ ink came as a liquid in pre-packaged bottles, and the cultivators in the Tianhe Realm were not keen on spending Spirit Stones to try this new ‘watered-down’ product.

“Wen Bo, place this talisman ink on display at our Little Nan Mountain Shop, and provide a free bottle with every purchase of five bundles or more of talisman paper,” Chen Mobai instructed.

Having studied business finance at the Repairing Heaven Institute, Chen Mobai, who intended to monopolize the talisman paper and ink market in the entire Eastern Wilderness, naturally needed to use the most classic method of capturing the market.

“Master, this Xiao Nan Ink is worth two Spirit Stones per bottle; giving it away like this, wouldn’t that be too much of a loss?”

This talisman ink was referred to as basic talisman ink at the Immortal Gates and, since Chen Mobai was planning to sell it in the Eastern Wilderness, naturally, it needed a memorable and distinctive name.

So he renamed it “Xiao Nan Ink.”

“Do as I say, distribute these 200,000 bottles of Xiao Nan Ink evenly among the shops in various countries of the Eastern Wilderness, and continue until they are gone,” Chen Mobai said.

These stocks of ink were from the inventory accumulated since the opening of the original puppet factory. Now, Chen Mobai kept the yearly production to 20,000 bottles, but without restrictions, it could reach 50,000 bottles.

Apart from some being circulated in the Immortal Gates’ market, from now on, they would be used as complimentary items in the Eastern Wilderness.

Chen Mobai estimated that after giving them away for about five years, the talisman makers in the Eastern Wilderness would realize the advantages of the Xiao Nan Ink.

After ten to twenty years, this Xiao Nan Ink would become an essential item for all Talisman Makers, abandoning those handcrafted, impure ink blocks that were cumbersome to make.

Once a standard was set, the investments made in the early stage would be recouped tenfold or a hundredfold later on.

Liu Wenbo might not fully understand, but he was deeply respectful of his master’s orders. Since Chen Mobai had instructed it, he would do everything possible to execute the plan.

Before he left, Liu Wenbo went to see Luo Yixuan. She had fully absorbed the spiritual energy from the Rank-2 Pure Bamboo and was feeling much better.

Zhuo Ming, after hearing the news, came over as well, and the three senior and junior disciples gathered after a long time apart.

However, Chen Mobai had entered closed-door cultivation.

His cultivation for the Pure Yang Scroll had suddenly made a breakthrough.

After half a year, the nature’s spiritual energy above the Longevity Wood Dojo began to converge, turning into a sweet rain that fell. Then a surge of pure and vast Spiritual Power Fluctuation swept it all away, as if breaking through some barrier, soaring abruptly and then vanishing in a flash.

In the wooden hut, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, feeling the cultivation of the second layer of the Gold Core, and nodded in satisfaction.
