Chapter 1039: Chapter 569_2 Chapter 1039: Chapter 569_2 Chen Mobai pondered who would be the most suitable to handle this matter.
After all, Hong He’s cultivation level was already at the Foundation Establishnt Late Phase, and he cultivated all three major cultivation techniques of Essence, Qi, and Spirit without any weaknesses.
If he took action himself, there would undoubtedly be no problem.
But Hong He clearly wouldn’t dare to use Demonic Cultivation while he, the Sect Leader, was still in the Rain Country.
Chen Mobai also didn’t want to delay his Formless Puppet here with this kind of task since it related to the more important aspect of two-realm transportation.
In that case, he could only choose from the several people he had brought with him this ti.
After carefully considering each person, Chen Mobai found the most suitable one.
“Sect Leader!”
Gu Yan was sowhat surprised to be summoned by Chen Mobai and hurriedly ca to pay his respects.
“Rise. I heard you say before that your Gu family has opened up eight hundred mu of Spirit Fields in Yun Country, planting Crystalized Rice of all three grades—lower, interdiate, and upper-grade Rank-1—and you are the largest local supplier of Spiritual Rice.”
“In fact, there are only seven hundred and sixty-eight mu of Spirit Fields. Five hundred and twenty mu are lower-grade Rank-1 Spirit Fields, one hundred and eighty mu are interdiate-grade Rank-1, and fifty mu are upper-grade Rank-1. There are also eighteen mu of Rank-2 Spirit Fields.”
Although Gu Yan didn’t understand the reason for Chen Mobai’s question, he still detailed the scale of his family’s Spirit Fields, including which were used for planting Spiritual Rice, which for growing herbs, as well as the yield and selling price of Crystalized Rice, leaving nothing out…
“I have a type of Rank-2 Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice that I inadvertently cultivated while experinting in the Small Southern Mountain Spirit Fields. It can mature in six years. However, because it’s more profitable for the Sect to plant Green Jade Spirit Rice, the thod of cultivating this Spirit Rice has been kept secret.”
“This Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice requires a high level of water, and the Rain Country is conveniently located near Yun ng Ze, with abundant rainfall all year round. If your Gu family is willing to upgrade the Spirit Fields a bit and open up about fifty mu of Rank-2 Spirit Fields, I can exclusively pass on the cultivation thod of this Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice to you.”
“After the Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice matures, since it is carried by Spiritual Bamboo, it can yield two hundred catties per mu. I will have Ming’er provide the seeds for you. However, after the harvest, seventy percent will belong to the Sect, and thirty percent to your family.”
Chen Mobai had thought of this after seeing the Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice. He had many Zhuo Ming Hybrid Spirit Rice that were accidental outcos from his experints, among which quite a few were suitable for mass planting.
The Eastern Wilderness is rich in Spirit Vein resources, many of which have not even been developed. Chen Mobai was deeply pained seeing this.
However, with the Divine Wood Sect’s power alone, it was definitely impossible to cultivate all the Spirit Fields in the Eastern Wilderness, so cooperating with local powers was the easiest thod.
Previously, during his Core Formation ceremony, he had ntioned this matter in passing while the Foundation Establishnt Practitioners from various cultivator families under his command were present.
Unfortunately, at that ti, the shadow of the Divine Wood Sect and the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still lingered, so most people chose to wait and see.
But recently, after Zhou Shengqing erged from seclusion and slew Zhao Xuankang and others post-Core Formation, the most opportunistic cultivator families in the Eastern Wilderness began to regret their decision.
Because the Liu family from Yun Country, through their connection with Liu Wenbo, got the best seeds provided by Zhuo Ming, and the Divine Wood Sect, in the spirit of getting a good horse by paying generously, only took a fifty percent cut.
Now, the Liu family has made a fortune through the cultivation of Spiritual Rice.
What’s more critical is that Chen Mobai has established a new policy: the Spiritual Rice taken by the Divine Wood Sect from the families below is partly converted into contribution points given back to the Liu family, allowing Patriarch Liu to exchange them for items that the Divine Wood Sect normally sells internally only.
Such items could include elixirs suitable for Foundation Establishnt Practitioners to improve their cultivation level, among others.
Recently, Chen Mobai also heard from Liu Wenbo that Liu Jingxian planned to fill in the family’s ancestral pond and convert it from fish farming to Spirit Plant cultivation, enlarging and strengthening their Spiritual Rice enterprise.
On the other hand, the Rain Country’s previous distance from Giant Tree Ridge made them less reverent towards the Divine Wood Sect, and not a single family chose to accept the Sect’s Spiritual Rice seeds during the Core Formation ceremony.
So, after Chen Mobai finished his tour of the Eastern Wilderness, he chose Rain Country as the first stop of his internal Sect inspection, making the five major cultivator families there very nervous.
After all, Chen Mobai’s reputation as a godslayer was well-known throughout the Eastern Wilderness.
If he truly found them displeasing, he alone could annihilate all five of their families.
There was no need for Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader, to take action himself; the small team of Foundation Establishnt Practitioners from the Divine Wood Sect that he brought along, along with Red River, were fully capable of handling the matter.
Therefore, the five major families of the Rain Country were also frantically seeking connections recently to see if they could find out whether Chen Mobai ca to Rain Country with lethal intentions or not.
In this regard, Gu Yan, who was considered a close confidante of Sect Master Chen, naturally beca the Rain Country’s lifesaver.
It was just a pity that Gu Yan also had her own difficulties to bear.
The relationship between her and Chen Mobai was rely that of employer and employee. On regular days, Sect Master Chen was either dealing with sect affairs in Shenmu Hall or retreating in his sealed wooden hut, barely speaking to her.
Outsiders all thought she could co and go freely in Sect Master Chen’s retreat, the Longevity Wood Dojo, and considered her a trusted confidante.
But in reality, Gu Yan felt that in Chen Mobai’s eyes, she was no different from any other Foundation Establishnt Practitioners within the sect.
However, her family had raised her after all, and the majority of resources for her Foundation Establishnt in the Divine Wood Sect ca from her family. Therefore, she could ignore the entreaties of the other four major families of Rain Country, but she had no choice but to co up with a way to deal with her own family.
Just as Gu Yan was bracing herself to approach Chen Mobai about this matter, the latter took the initiative to summon her.
Rank-2 Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice, Gu Yan was aware of this, after all, she had a good relationship with Zhuo Ming.
But her dream was just to acquire for her family a variety of Rank-1 interdiate-grade Spiritual Rice seed.
Little did she know that fortune would fall from the sky, and Chen Mobai actually gave her this exceedingly precious Rank-2 Spiritual Rice directly.
“Sect Leader’s gracious gift, I will never forget for the rest of my life,”
Overwheld with excitent, Gu Yan gave a deep bow to Chen Mobai.
“You have worked so hard in extracting the Everlife Wood sap for ; although there’s no contribution, there’s effort, and I keep it all in my heart,” Chen Mobai said with a faint smile, gesturing for Gu Yan to rise, and then recited the cultivation thod for the Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice.
After hearing it, Gu Yan imdiately made a Dao Heart oath, promising not to teach this information to a second person, not even to soone from the Gu family.
With the cultivation thod for Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice in hand, Gu Yan saw the hope of further advancing her cultivation level in the future and was very excited.
“Before planting this Spiritual Rice, we need to improve the soil of the Spirit Field to make it suitable for the growth of Phoenix Tear Bamboo. You don’t have to co back with ; stay in Rain Country for now and attend to this matter,” Chen Mobai instructed.
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
Gu Yan pondered for a mont. The thod of improving the Spirit Field was also part of what Chen Mobai taught her. She solemnly nodded her head, determined to handle this matter well.
Perhaps she could also catch the eye of the Sect Leader and beco a disciple of the Small Southern Mountain.
After all, Sect Leader Chen’s junior disciple had been missing for so ti now, and he lacked people to care for him. Gu Yan harbored significant ambition for this position.
“In addition to this task, I actually have another matter for you to attend to,” Chen Mobai added.
“Please instruct , Sect Leader!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan’s spirits soared even higher. Had she finally beco the confidante of the Sect Leader?
“Red River may have practiced Demonic Cultivation—I cannot stay here, so I’m leaving you behind under the pretext of the Phoenix Tear Bamboo Spirit Rice. When you are improving the Spirit Field and planting the Spiritual Bamboo, I will have Red River inspect your Gu family under the pretense of sect supervision. During his visits, observe him…”
Chen Mobai laid out the task he wanted Gu Yan to undertake in full detail, and upon hearing this, she showed a look of astonishnt and bewildernt.
“Whether you accept this task is entirely up to you. If you’re unhappy with it, just consider it”
But it was only a matter of two breaths’ ti, “Whether you accept this task is entirely up to you. If you’re unhappy with it, just consider it”
But it was only a matter of two breaths’ ti,
