New Second Tier Spirit Rice

Speaking of the Pure Clean Bamboo, Chen Mobai recalled several other items he had purchased at the Sales Meeting.

He had already incorporated the Lung Metal Qi into his Five Elements Sword Finger technique, while the Five Gold Essence Stone, a gift from his sister, were still stored in his storage bag.

All that was left was an iron bead and a piece of animal hide, used to mislead people by showing off the Lamp Base.

Chen Mobai examined the iron bead with his expertise in Treasure Appraisal and determined that it was an accessory to a Magic Artifact, possibly a slingshot-type bead. However, all the Restriction and energy within it had been completely dissipated, so although it still retained some Spiritual Mechanism, it was essentially useless.

The other piece of animal hide was probably left by an unknown Second Grade Demon Beast. It had some Xiantian patterns. Although the Sales Meeting advertised that if a cultivator could comprehend it, they could master the divine abilities inherited from the Demon Beast's bloodline, it was all a lie.

Chen Mobai didn't think he had that much talent, so after taking a look, he gave it to Luo Yixuan, who was standing to the side.

"You can go to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and ask for a task to refine inner armor. The Artifact Refining Department should have Artifact Refiner in this field. The quality of this animal hide is quite good. If it is refined into a defensive Magic Artifact, it will be more than enough for use at least in the Qi Refining stage."

Luo Yixuan happily accepted it; she really needed a powerful defensive magic Magic Artifact.

"By the way, Master, my eldest brother sent a message saying that most of the 20,000 Talisman Paper you gave him have been sold. What's next? Will they run out of stock, or will the price be raised?"

Liu Wenbai has been busy at Little South Mountain Shop in the five major markets of Jian Country recently. Basically, all the Rogue Cultivator with some cultivation level know that this shop belongs to Chen Mobai, and they will go in to take a look out of curiosity.

With this turn of events, the independent Rogue Cultivator, who were used to comparing prices, saw Talisman Paper of far superior quality to that of the Eastern Wasteland.

When I asked about the price again, it turned out to be the same as ordinary Talisman Paper.

As a result, within just half a month, the "South Mountain Talisman Paper" had spread completely in the lower-tier markets.

Along with that, a considerable amount of Spirit Rice and Spirit Wine from Little South Mountain Shop were also sold. However, compared to the booming business of Talisman Paper, these were barely enough to break even and cover the rent.

The Talisman Paper that the shops in the market put on sale every day is sold out instantly. Moreover, many Talisman shops have come to them seeking cooperation, asking if they can be supplied with this quality of Talisman Paper, and some even want to buy out the exclusive Proxy.

"The price remains unchanged. Just tell Wen Bai to come and pick up the goods."

Chen Mobai calmly said that he could produce 10,000 Talisman Paper a day in the Puppet Factory of the Immortal Sect.

Since inspecting the five major markets of the Jian Country, Chen Mobai has not returned for more than a month, and theoretically should have accumulated nearly 400,000 Talisman Paper.

If all of these were sold here in the Eastern Wasteland, they could be exchanged for more than 30,000 Low-grade Spirit Stone.

Although he made a fortune by killing Yuan Hongyuan and others, Chen Mobai knew that only business was the proper way to get rich.

After all, you can earn Spirit Stone every day by doing business, and robbery doesn't happen every day! However, when Chen Mobai returned to the Puppet Factory to move Talisman Paper, he discovered some minor problems.

That is, the Puppetry in his factory operate 24 hours a day, and because many of the materials are made of wood, the damage rate is a bit high.

Although this was anticipated, and Chai Lun helped make two Puppetry specifically for repairs, this could only handle some simple parts replacements.

Some of the parts involve Chip or precision joint components, but he still has to do them himself.

During Chen Mobai's absence, the Puppet Factory's Talisman Paper production efficiency decreased slightly due to the damage of six puppets.

"It seems best to leave a Puppet Body of myself inside the factory."

Chen Mobai was repairing the Puppetry while thinking to himself.

When the great battle between the Divine Wood Sect and Mountain Shaking Peak had just ended, Chen Mobai, inspired by Fu Zongjue's Puppet Body, also wanted to use the method of Splitting Spirit Manifesting Thought to place the Formless Puppet and his own body in two different realms, thus taking care of both the Immortal Sect and the Sky River Realm.

However, due to the separation between the two realms and his own low cultivation level, his physical body and mind were somewhat unable to withstand it.

He happened to have an extra piece of Third Grade Soul Nurturing Wood; he'd see if it would be of any use.

After the repairs were completed, Chen Mobai began to try it out.

Although the Soul Nurturing Wood is Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure, it has appeared several times in the Eastern Wasteland, so the Divine Wood Sect has relevant information about it.

Chen Mobai pulled out his Flying Sparrow Hairpin, and his long, flowing hair, which he had been growing for a long time, fell down. Under his Spiritual Sense control, it transformed into a black whip, sweeping up the Soul Nurturing Wood.

Then, he felt an invisible, peaceful wave descend from the Soul Nurturing Wood above his head and fall into his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, the Great Camellia Flower that he had already refined into it suddenly appeared.

Chen Mobai immediately activated the passive protective power of the Great Camellia Flower, released his Purple Mansion, and allowed the power of the Soul Nurturing Wood to fall into it.

Amidst the flashing silver light, his true form had already been teleported to the Sky River Realm, while the Formless Puppet, whose Spiritual Sense had been taken over by him, remained in place.

Little South Mountain.

Chen Mobai frowned slightly, feeling a bit dizzy from the separation of their Spiritual Sense between the two realms.

The Soul Nurturing Wood is still effective. At least compared to the unbearable pain that almost made me collapse before, it's now just like a mild case of a cold, which is completely bearable.

"I just don't know how long the power of this Soul Nurturing Wood can last."

Chen Mobai recalled the records of the Divine Wood Sect regarding the Soul Nurturing Wood. This spiritual object was a treasure for ghost cultivators, but for them, who were serious cultivators practicing Qi Refining, it was merely a spiritual object for nourishing the mind and refining Spiritual Sense.

Wearing Soul Nurturing Wood for a long time can absorb some impurities in Spiritual Sense and slowly enhance Spiritual Sense power.

However, this will weaken the efficacy of the Soul Nurturing Wood until it completely loses its spiritual power.

The Third Grade Soul Nurturing Wood is just right for the Spiritual Sense of Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Chen Mobai felt his Spiritual Sense undergo an inexplicable change under the fluctuations of the Soul Nurturing Wood, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

It seems that the bottleneck in my Spiritual Sense is showing signs of loosening.

If he can use this Soul Nurturing Wood to perfect his Spiritual Sense Foundation Establishment, then his trip to inspect the five major markets of the Jian Country will be a truly successful operation.

With this in mind, Chen Mobai used a simple Artifact Refining scaling technique to transform the Soul Nurturing Wood into the same size as the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.

He then used the Soul Nurturing Wood as a second hairpin, inserting it along with the Flying Sparrow Hairpin into his high bun.

"Master."

At this moment, his three disciples, who had received his Telepathic Message, also arrived.

Zhuo Ming didn't know about Soul Nurturing Wood, so after greeting him, she couldn't help but take a second look at the ancient black hairpin that suddenly appeared on Chen Mobai's head, which looked like a cut branch.

"Wen Bai, here are Talisman Paper and some sample Talisman Ink. You can take them."

Chen Mobai handed a storage bag to Liu Wenbai, who immediately extended both hands and respectfully accepted it.

"Master, is this the income of Little South Mountain Shop for one month after opening in the five major markets of the Jian Country?"

After Liu Wenbai took it, he handed Chen Mobai a small storage bag filled with Spirit Stone.

"Keep this for now, and give it to me at the end of the year. If there's an opportunity in the market, you can try to exchange it for High-grade Spirit Stone."

Chen Mobai no longer cared about these few hundred Spirit Stone. He waved his hand, indicating that Liu Wenbai was now running branches in the five major markets and had many expenses, so he should let him use them first.

"Yes, Master!"

After Liu Wenbai nodded, he channeled his Spiritual Sense into the storage bag in his hand, wanting to see how he would arrange for people to divide these Talisman Paper into bundles.

Then, he stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape, his face filled with shock.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Liu Wenbai's expression, Luo Yixuan thought he was possessed and immediately rushed to Chen Mobai, wanting to show off.

"Master, aren't there too many Talisman Paper!"

Liu Wenbai swallowed hard. As a scion of a prominent family, he had seen a lot of the world.

He had never seen such a sight before: 300,000 high-quality Talisman Paper piled together.

This is a fortune worth Wan Ling! His hands trembled involuntarily.

"I can freely enter and exit the Divine Tree Secret Realm. These Talisman Paper were made by me using the secret method of the Longevity Sect with the Crimson Sun Spirit Tree as raw material. The production will be endless in the future."

"However, this matter is only for the three of you to know, and you must not reveal it."

"From now on, let's put the Talisman Paper in the warehouse down the mountain. The rice granary is empty anyway, so please take care of it, Ming'er."

Zhuo Ming nodded immediately upon hearing this.

She'd be more than willing to manage things.

Liu Wenbai originally planned to ask the ordinary people farming in Little South Mountain for help to distribute the Talisman Paper, just like before, but 300,000 talismans were simply too many.

After reporting to Chen Mobai, he decided that Little South Mountain Shop would be dedicated to supplying the remaining Talisman Paper shops on a large scale, aiming to seize the market in Jian Country with low prices and high quality.

In this way, there is a large supply, and there is no need to divide it into batches. This part of the labor can be handed over to the Talisman Paper buyers below.

Chen Mobai offered some minor suggestions, since the model used by the Immortal Sect was more mature.

After hearing about the Distributor Model, Liu Wenbai had a sudden realization and immediately took the Azure Goose Bird to Jade Pot Market to learn how to apply it.

"Master, recently, quite a few Talisman shops in Divine Wood City have wanted to purchase talismans from us."

Zhuo Ming also mentioned a small matter, but Chen Mobai didn't intend to attract too much attention from the sect's side.

His usual practice was to have Zhuo Ming sell 100 dozen talisman Talisman Paper each month, and once they were sold out, the stock would be gone.

I must wait until I become the Sect Leader, or until I reach the Core Formation, before I can start pursuing a monopoly.

"Little South Mountain Shop in Divine Wood City only sells Talisman Paper; they do not ship it out."

After saying this, Chen Mobai led Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan down the mountain.

Today happens to be the day when a batch of Spirit Rice ripens, and since it's such a coincidence, Chen Mobai is very willing to go to the fields.

After a busy day of harvesting, sorting, and storing the Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai took Zhuo Ming to see the most precious ten acres of Spirit Field planted with Second Grade Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice spirit rice.

"You can already smell the fragrance of the rice."

Chen Mobai broke off a section of the best-growing Solomon's Seal Jade Bamboo, closed his eyes, and smelled the Spirit Rice inside the bamboo cavity. He couldn't help but look satisfied.

Clearly, Zhuo Ming had put a lot of effort into tending to these ten acres of Spirit Rice.

"Master, there are three types of hybrid Spirit Rice that are all quite adaptable. Which one do you think is the most suitable?"

After inspecting the ten acres of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, Zhuo Ming took Chen Mobai and Luo Yixuan to see the remaining hybrid Spirit Rice. These were experiments conducted by Chen Mobai to improve the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice's defect of only ripening once every ten years.

Over the years, we have tested no fewer than a hundred different types, many of which met the requirements. In the end, we selected these three to focus on developing.

If the rice variety improvement is completed, their Divine Wood Sect will have a continuous supply of Second Tier Spirit Rice to eat.

In the short term, it simply means adding another type of Spirit Rice.

But Chen Mobai was thinking of adding free Spirit Rice to the future benefits for the Divine Wood Sect disciples.

Only when the next generation is strong can the sect become stronger and stronger.

The reason why the Immortal Sect can allow all its people to cultivate immortality is because everyone grows up eating Spirit Rice from childhood, so they have abundant Xiantian energy and no defects in their Spiritual Root Qi and Blood.

If every Qi Cultivation Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect can eat free Tier 1 Spirit Rice, and Foundation Establishment Cultivator have enough Second Tier Spirit Rice, then a hundred years from now, Chen Mobai confident that he can lead the Divine Wood Sect to become the number one sect in the Eastern Wasteland.

"This Fire Spirit Rice can be harvested twice a year. Although its taste is not as good Jade Sprout Spirit Rice, its spiritual energy is just as good."

"And this Phoenix Tear Bamboo, which replaces Jade Bamboo, is Spirit Rice. Judging from its growth and spiritual energy content, it should also be able to grow into Second Tier Spirit Rice, but it won't take ten years. I estimate it will be about six or seven years."

"However, the one that best suits Master's wishes should be this Qingke Spirit Rice. It is a first-grade Spirit Rice that grows on the plateau in the Yan Kingdom. It has an extremely strong ability to bear the Earth Qi. After it is hybridized with Jade Sprout Spirit Rice, it can achieve perfect complementarity. After several rounds of cultivation, if it can stably grow into Second Grade rice, then it will be a brand new Second Tier Spirit Rice!"

After examining the three hybrid Spirit Rice one by one, Chen Mobai's face lit up with joy, and he uttered a single sentence.

"Ming'er is just like me!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yixuan, who was following along, looked at Zhuo Ming, who was too embarrassed to lower her head, with envy.

Of the three disciples, Chen Mobai was generous with his praise, but without a doubt, Zhuo Ming, whose cultivation level was the lowest, always received the most praise.

The phrase "like me" means that the throne will be passed on to someone else in the future.

This is the highest praise a teacher can give to their student!

"Watch closely, this is the Thunder Method Life-Giving Technique that I obtained during my seclusion."

Just then, Chen Mobai reached out and grasped a stalk of Qingke Spirit Rice on the Spirit Land. The most violent thunderous power in the minds of cultivators suddenly became as smooth as water in his palm, condensing into droplets that seeped from his fingertips into the roots of the rice seed.

Then, as if time were moving forward rapidly, this hybrid Spirit Rice began to quickly absorb the Earth Qi, water energy, and spiritual energy to grow and sprout ears, transforming into a slender rice ear full of grains.

Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan were shocked when they saw this scene.

"Only one grade is suitable for use as rice seed for the following year."

Chen Mobai picked the Qingke Spirit Rice that had been ripened by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, pinched a handful to distinguish the spiritual essence within, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He then took matters into his own hands and accelerated the ripening of the entire one-acre plot of Qingke Spirit Rice.

Unfortunately, only the Spirit Rice produced on three rice ears barely reached the Second Grade level.

"Take it and plant it. Inform your master when it sprouts and grows."

Zhuo Ming nodded repeatedly. Without the Yi Wood Divine Thunder to accelerate the ripening process, she would have had to wait until next year to achieve this result.

[Master is indeed Master; I still have so much to learn!]
