Spirit Rice Layout

"After Master passed away, Zhou Ye took his last will and asked us to help him cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit."

"Senior Brother Zhou and I were naturally unwilling and suggested splitting up the family, but Zhou Ye cursed us as traitors."

"Then came the long war, which was fueled by Zhao Xuankang and several other major sects in the Eastern Wasteland."

After Mo Douguang finished speaking, Chen Mobai finally understood the matter of the Five Elements Sect splitting up.

If he truly sacrificed sixty years of his original spiritual power, then the other Core Formation Cultivator of the Five Elements Sect would certainly have no hope of Nascent Formation.

For Zhou Shengqing, a cultivator who could see even higher realms, this was something he would never agree to.

No wonder they chose to separate.

In this matter, it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong.

Since he didn't know if Xuanxiao Dao Palace had any other tricks up its sleeve, Mo Douguang stayed at the Divine Wood Sect for a while after finishing his tea.

His residence was right in front of the Longevity Wood where Zhou Shengqing was in seclusion, so he could also take the opportunity to sense the aura of Nascent Formation.

After the Core Formation Ceremony concluded, Chen Mobai received a message from Zhuo Ming via the Heavenly Sky-Connecting Instrument.

"The Luo Family?"

Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised after hearing this. If Luo Sancai had any sense, he should have known why he only chose Liu Jingxian for the Grand Ceremony.

In order to establish a relationship with this Core Formation Cultivator, Luo Sancai was quite shameless.

"You don't need to agree to his request, nor do you need to stop the Luo Family from sending people into the Divine Wood Sect. If there is an opportunity in the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea for you or Wen Bai to take Xuan'er's nephews and nieces under your wing."

After thinking it over, Chen Mobai made a decision.

Although the young apprentice harbored resentment towards the family she was born into, she could not forget the kindness of the Luo Family in the early stages of her growth and cultivation.

Now that his youngest disciple has gone missing, as his master, he still has a responsibility to take care of the Luo Family.

After Zhuo Ming, Liu Wenbai also rushed over to report on the transaction of the Spirit Rice seedlings.

At the Core Formation Ceremony, the Divine Wood Sect offered all the guests Spirit Wine and Spirit Rice from the Little South Mountain Lineage.

There were four large vats of Spirit Wine, ranging from low -Second Grade to Second Grade- tier. The most precious vat was a Spirit Wine that was almost Third Grade, brewed from Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice.

There are many more varieties of Spirit Rice. After all, Zhuo Ming has tried to hybridize hundreds of varieties over the past twenty years, and has cultivated more than ten Second Grade varieties. However, the most suitable for large-scale cultivation is still the Green Jade Spirit Rice.

The self-service, free-flowing Spirit Wine and the use of Spirit Rice were quite novel to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland. The taste of the Spirit Wine, which far surpassed the quality of the Eastern Wasteland, instantly won over everyone.

The sheer quantity of such unheard-of Second Tier Spirit Rice greatly shocked all the forces in the Eastern Wasteland.

Even among the Eastern Wasteland Great Sect, there isn't a complete method for cultivating and raising Second Tier Spirit Rice.

Shouldn't the Divine Wood Sect only have Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice?

When they learned that this was the result of more than 20 years of hard work and experimentation by Old Ancestor Chen and his disciples, everyone was shocked by Chen Mobai's talent.

Isn't he an unparalleled genius in swordsmanship?

How can one's talent in Spirit Plant be even more amazing than in swordsmanship?

As expected of the chosen Holy Son of the Ancient Longevity Sect! Just as everyone was marveling, Meng Hong said that Old Ancestor Chen was willing to sell these Spirit Rice seeds to any force or sect that was interested in planting them.

The news sent everyone present into a frenzy of excitement.

However, their rich experience taught them that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Just as they were waiting for the harsh conditions from the Divine Wood Sect, Liu Jingxian, who had already been instructed, immediately stepped forward and said that the Liu Family wanted to buy rice seeds of Flower Rice from the Divine Wood Sect.

This Flower Rice is a type of Spirit Rice that can only be grown in paddy fields Spirit Land. It is a failed product that Zhuo Ming produced during his years of hybridization experiments on Third Tier Spirit Rice.

However, although this Spirit Rice was a failure for Chen Mobai and Zhuo Ming, it was almost priceless for the Liu Family.

Because their family's Spirit Field are all paddy fields, the Jade Sprout Spirit Rice they grow on a daily basis sometimes swells up and dies due to the abundant water.

After introducing this Flower Rice, their family's paddy fields will be fully developed and utilized, and they might even be able to grow Second Grade Spirit Rice.

Purchasing these seedlings does not require any Spirit Stone fees; all that is needed is to hand over 30% of the harvested seedlings to the Divine Wood Sect when they mature.

The right to use these rice seeds will be temporarily set at ten years.

If the Divine Wood Sect is not satisfied with the yield of the Liu Family's Flower Rice ten years from now, it will choose to stop supplying seedlings.

Everyone could tell that Liu Jingxian was a plant.

Besides the Liu Family, the most Direct Lineage of the Divine Wood Sect and the major families that Jian Country had also received internal instructions and stepped forward to claim the most suitable Spirit Rice seedlings for their families.

Those in the Eastern Wasteland who can cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm are basically all shrewd and capable individuals. After careful consideration, they decided to observe for a few more years before making any decisions.

Of course, there were also other families outside of Jian Country who, after leaving Divine Wood Sect, secretly returned to try and bring back some seedlings.

The Divine Wood Sect rejected all such offers.

If you want to cooperate with their Divine Wood Sect, you must do so openly and honestly, so that everyone in the Eastern Wasteland knows about it.

At first, the head of the Lou family in Yun Kingdom did not understand why, but on the way back, after hearing that Xuanxiao Dao Palace had once again sent people to attack Baose Mountain in Yan Kingdom, he suddenly realized what was going on.

The Divine Wood Sect is trying to force them to choose sides.

Once they accept the seedlings of the Divine Wood Sect, then in the eyes of the people of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, they are clearly a vassal family of the Divine Wood Sect.

Fortunately, they were cautious; otherwise, they would have been caught in the clash between the two major powers. If the Xuanxiao Dao Palace were to attack in the future, the Lou Family might have been wiped out because of this.

It wasn't just the Old Ancestor of the Lou Family who understood this.

Those Foundation Establishment Cultivator who were not tempted by the Divine Wood Sect Spirit Rice seedlings were all glad that their Dao hearts were firm.

Seven days later, Yue Zutao, who was guarding Yan Kingdom, returned in person.

"Xuan Shu has reopened the Nan Xuan Sect!"

After hearing the news, Chen Mobai and the other two exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Zongjue: "The Great Elder of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace is indeed reluctant to give up his lifespan. As long as the Nascent Formation doesn't come, we will have room to maneuver."

Chen Mobai: "And what about Zhao Xuankang?"

Yue Zutao: "Reporting to the Ancestor, we have not yet seen Zhao Xuankang since the Nan Xuan Sect reopened. However, given his understanding of the Eastern Wasteland, it is impossible for him not to come. He is probably hiding behind the scenes, planning to cooperate with Xuan Shu, one in the open and one in the dark."

Fu Zongjue: "It's just that the original Nan Xuanjing has been replaced by Xuan Shu. The structure of the Yan Kingdom Xiao Kingdom remains unchanged. It's the same as before. If you encounter any shameless Core Formation cultivators who attack you, just abandon the territories of both countries and return to your sect."

After discussing for a while, the three Core Formation cultivators quickly came to the decision to wait and see.

Although the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Xuanxiao Dao Palace didn't come, Xuan Shu was still considered one of the top Core Formation below the Nascent Soul level. If Chen Mobai hadn't used the Purple Lightning Sword to force him away, he probably would have blocked Giant Wood Ridge all by himself long ago.

For the Divine Wood Sect, the most important task now is to protect Zhou Shengqing Nascent Formation. For this, they are willing to give up all the territory outside Giant Wood Ridge.

"Then I'll head back to Golden Light Cliff first. Call me if you need anything."

After confirming that he had nothing to do with it, Mo Douguang immediately took the Teleportation Array and left Giant Wood Ridge.

After seeing him off, Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue immediately instructed Chu Zuoshu to convene a meeting of the Three Halls Twelve Departments to convey their instructions.

Among these, the propagation of Spirit Rice seedlings is considered to be of particular importance.

This was Chen Mobai's first step in trying to change the Eastern Wasteland, but the reason he used it was to get the Foundation Establishment forces outside the Eastern Wasteland Divine Wood Sect to side with them.

Fu Zongjue and Chu Zuoshu even thought the plan was ingenious.

Since this Divine Wood Sect Assembly was Chen Mobai's first since he Core Formation, everyone was well aware of its importance.

In addition to the Three Halls Twelve Departments, the garrison commanders of various countries also rushed to the scene after receiving the news.

"Senior Brother E, it's been a long time."

After E Yun returned, while she was still thinking about how to get along with her former friend Chen Mobai, Yuan Chiye, who had returned earlier, came looking for her.

"Junior Brother Yuan, I heard that Old Ancestor Chen recommended you to serve as the Hong Kingdom Guardian. Congratulations!"

Besides the powerful positions in the Three Halls Twelve Departments, the most capable of gathering cultivation resources in the Divine Wood Sect is the governor who governs a country.

"Not at all, it's just that the sect has only just taken over the Hong Kingdom and hasn't yet gone through the specific selection process for guarding it, so Old Ancestor Chen asked me to guard it in my place. After this sect conference, perhaps a highly respected senior brother or sister will take my place."

Yuan Chiye was very clear about his own capabilities; he was simply the most familiar with Chen Mobai among the Foundation Establishment he had left behind in the Yan Kingdom.

"Junior brother is too modest. Since Old Ancestor Chen has spoken up for you, no one among the Three Halls Twelve Departments will make things difficult for you in this matter."

Compared to Yuan Chiye, E Yun had a much clearer understanding of the operating rules of the Divine Wood Sect system.

The words of Core Formation Cultivator are everything.

Although Chen Mobai had just Core Formation, as a top-tier Sword Cultivator, his sword slashed Nan Xuanjing and his Purple Lightning repelled Xuan Shu, making him arguably the strongest warrior in the Eastern Wasteland.

Unless Fu Zongjue voices his opposition, absolutely no one among the Three Halls Twelve Departments of the Divine Wood Sect would dare to disobey Chen Mobai.

"The problem is that some of my senior brothers and sisters are not willing to accept this."

Yuan Chiye said with a wry smile. E Yun thought for a moment and understood what he meant.

Within the Divine Wood Sect, there are still a few elders whose physical bodies have passed their peak years, but who have broken through to the late Foundation Establishment. Their belief in Core Formation surpasses all others.

They usually gather in Cloud Dream Marsh, hoping for a chance to Core Formation.

After Old Ancestor Chen surpassed him and successfully Core Formation, they all thought about how to attract the attention of this new ancestor.

The fact that Yuan Chiye Proxy of Hong Kingdom Guardian was a perfect excuse for them.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Although he knew Chen Mobai's character well, E Yun dared not use his own mind to speculate about Core Formation Cultivator after the former Core Formation. He could only say this to Yuan Chiye.

At this moment, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator came to visit.

"Greetings, Senior Brother E Senior Brother Yuan."

They were very familiar with the newcomer; he was Liu Wenbai, Chen Mobai's eldest disciple. Back when he had just left New Bud Hall, he was one of their subordinates.

At that time, E Yun felt that with Liu Wenbai's potential, he could probably only reach the level of a true disciple at most, and Foundation Establishment stage was basically impossible.

Unexpectedly, after becoming a disciple of Old Ancestor Chen, I am now at the same level as them.

"Junior Liu, please have a seat."

E Yun extended a very polite invitation, but Liu Wenbai shook his head and said something that made the two of them look serious.

"Master is in the courtyard of Divine Wood City. He asked me to invite my two senior brothers over for a chat."

"Please lead the way, Junior Liu."

E Yun and Yuan Chiye dared not keep the Core Formation Cultivator waiting for long, so they immediately followed Liu Wenbai to a familiar place.

This courtyard was a benefit arranged by E Yun for Chen Mobai Foundation Establishment. The three of them also drank a lot of wine here afterward.

After entering the gate, they saw the back of a young man pointing at a Azure Spirit Tree in the courtyard.

Beside the boy was a girl dressed as a village woman; the two seemed to be exchanging ideas about Spirit Planting Art.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor Chen." X2 E Yun and Yuan Chiye immediately Chen Mobai after they arrived.

"There's no need for such formalities between the three of us."

Although he couldn't change the custom in the Sky River Realm that seniority was Cultivation Realm, Chen Mobai still tried his best to follow the habits he had developed in the Immortal Sect since childhood when facing his own people.

Zhuo Ming was standing nearby, immediately pointed to the ground, and the soil began to mold, instantly forming a round table and several stools.

After Chen Mobai invited E Yun and Yuan Chiye to sit down, Liu Wenbai took out a large jar of Jade Bamboo Spirit Wine from the courtyard warehouse.

"My junior brother Chu told me a few days ago that he wants to go into seclusion to cultivate his Core Formation and wants to step down from his Sect Master Position."

After the three of them drank their first cup of wine, Chen Mobai said something that made E Yun and Yuan Chiye's expressions change drastically.

Whom does the patriarch favor to succeed him?

E Yun suppressed the pounding in his heart, put down his wine glass, and asked Chen Mobai.

"Of course I favor you, but your two opponents are simply too powerful. Zhou Wangshen has outstanding achievements, and Senior Brother Fu's disciple Hong He is already in the late Foundation Establishment. Compared to them, even with my support, you have no advantage."

When facing his friend E Yun, Chen Mobai spoke his mind directly.

Because of the successful refinement of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill Chu Zuoshu, the time for Chu Zuoshu to prepare for the Core Formation stepping down was more than ten years earlier than originally planned.

He examined E Yun's aura. Although he was already in the mid- Foundation Establishment stage, he was not really capable of becoming the Sect Leader.

"Please teach me, Ancestor!"
