Dragon Vein Energy
Could it be that this person's talent in Spirit Plant is no less than his talent in swordsmanship? Yan Shaoyin thought to himself, looking at Chen Mobai's excessively young face, and felt increasingly uneasy.
As Fourth Tier Alchemist, he also became Third Grade Spirit Planter in order to understand the medicinal properties of various herbs.
He believed that there were few in the entire Eastern Wasteland who could compare to him in terms of Spirit Plant.
Little did he know that this newly Core Formation Divine Wood Sect Master Chen was actually above him.
"This Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice, besides needing the Earth Vein Qi, also needs to absorb the Dragon Vein Qi in order to be planted, survive, and grow strong..."
Chen Mobai and Yu Shuji hit it off immediately. Chen Mobai asked Yu Shuji about his doubts about the Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice he had just noticed, and Yu Shuji readily gave him an answer.
Because only their Starry Skies Dao Sect possesses the seeds of this Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice, it wouldn't matter if they told Chen Mobai about it.
Returning Heaven Valley possesses the complete technology for planting, fertilizing, cultivating, and harvesting Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice, but it still needs to hand over 70% of its harvest to the Starry Skies Dao Sect every year. This is because it needs to rely on the latter as a backer.
The seeds are in the hands of the Starry Skies Dao Sect. If they don't provide them, the ten thousand acres of Third Grade Spirit Field in the Hua Country will simply be Bailang.
In the Sky River Realm, thanks to the technology related to Spirit Plant, it is easy to restore them with more research.
Therefore, seeds are the most precious.
It was precisely for this reason that when Zhou Shengqing obtained the breeding and cultivation method of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, he was highly praised by the Primordial Ancestor, who even specially dispatched elites from the Five Elements Sect's Spiritual Plant Department to develop sixty acres of Third Grade Spirit Field in Little South Mountain for research.
Previously, when Chen Mobai cultivated a new Second Grade Green Jade Spirit Rice, Fu Zongjue pleased that he rewarded him with a full million Spirit Stone.
In the Eastern Wasteland, the seeds of Spirit Rice are incredibly precious.
If it contains the complete technology for cultivating Spirit Rice from seeds, it is enough to be a sect's most treasured possession.
The Eastern Yi have three major sects with Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, and only the Xuanxiao Dao Palace and the Sun Bathing Sea have seeds of Third Tier Spirit Rice, namely Golden Cloud Rice and Fire Crystal Rice, which shows how precious they are.
Moreover, if these major sects discover that their own seeds have been leaked outside the sect, they will not hesitate to start a war. Back then, another major sect in Eastern Yi, Kong Sang Valley, used a trick to obtain the Golden Cloud Rice seeds of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, thinking of combining them with the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice Method to cultivate a new Third Tier Spirit Rice.
Although they obtained the seeds, the next day, the Old Ancestor Jin Feng of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace led the sect's twelve Golden Core cultivators and thousands of other cultivators to attack Kong Sang Valley.
This war was the largest Eastern Yi in the last two hundred years, with countless casualties on both sides.
Seven or eight Golden Core cultivators perished, which nearly shook most of the Eastern Yi Cultivation World.
Later, the Old Ancestor Bai Wu of the Sun Bathing Sea couldn't stand it anymore, because many of his own disciples had been caught up in the incident and suffered injuries or deaths, so he stepped in to try to mediate.
But at that time, both the Old Ancestor Jin Feng and the Ancestor Muqin were in a bloodthirsty frenzy, showing him no respect whatsoever, determined to fight to the death.
Feeling humiliated, the Old Ancestor Bai Wu was also angry and directly summoned his good brother, the Primordial Ancestor, and Sun Huangwu from Eastern Wu. In addition, the Starry Skies Dao Sect, whose business was also affected by the war between the two factions, also sent a Nascent Soul Elder.
It was only under the suppression of the four Nascent Soul cultivators that the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xuanxiao Dao Palace and Kong Sang Valley calmed down.
Since Kong Sang Valley was in the wrong, after discussion, the Nascent Soul cultivator of Kong Sang Valley, under pressure, returned all the Golden Cloud Rice seeds and expelled his Sect Leader to finally put the matter behind them.
However, the impact of the great battle between the two factions was far-reaching.
Both Jin Feng and Mu Qin, Nascent Soul cultivators, used life-or-death techniques in this great battle, and afterwards both suffered severe damage to their vital energy and lifespan.
However, because Xuanxiao Dao Palace has the Profound Heaven Black Gold Pill, the situation of Old Ancestor Jin Feng is better, and he can show up from time to time, and even take action.
However, there has been no news of the Ancestor Muqin in Kong Sang Valley for nearly a hundred years, and many people say that she has passed away.
This incident made cultivators in the three realms of Eastern Yi, Eastern Wasteland Eastern Wu aware of the preciousness of the Spirit Rice seeds.
Chen Mobai did not value Spirit Rice much. Due to the different geographical climates within the Immortal Sect, there were dozens of types of Third Tier Spirit Rice, and there was even Fifth Order immortal rice specially reserved for Spirit Transmutation Ancestor.
The Spirit Rice seeds, which are extremely precious to the sects of the Sky River Realm, are no different from roadside stones in his eyes.
What Chen Mobai was concerned about was the information revealed in Yu Shuji's words.
"Dragon Vein Qi... There's actually a Dragon Vein flowing beneath this Hua Country!"
The so-called Dragon Vein requires a long period of civilization to nurture it before it can combine with the earth's veins and be formed.
Although the Earth Origin Star, where the Immortal Sect is located, is scarce in resources and has little spiritual energy, its Dragon Vein are almost everywhere in all the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, precisely because it possesses a brilliant and glorious civilization.
However, the dragon Dragon Vein of the Immortal Sect are protected resources and can only be used after approval from relevant departments.
Chen Mobai knew that Goumang Dao Academy had a recipe for a pill called Earth Vein Pill, which required extracting the Dragon Vein Qi to refine. After taking it, it could be used to increase the Spirit Root Value.
Thinking of this, he looked at the ground beneath his feet with a flicker in his eyes.
The Dragon Vein Qi needs to nurture secular dynasties and civilizations, and it often takes more than a thousand years to have an effect.
The major sects in the Sky River Realm have also discovered the wondrous uses of the Dragon Vein Qi. They generally protect the mortals within their own forces and even support them in establishing dynasties.
Of course, the power to rule is definitely in the hands of the cultivators.
Only in the Eastern Wasteland, the two successive overlords, the Eternal Gate and the Five Elements Sect, both fell apart after the Nascent Soul cultivators passed away. The dynasties they maintained also scattered like stars in the wind, and the Dragon Vein naturally disappeared.
How did the Starry Skies Dao Sect discover the Dragon Vein of this Hua Country? Using the Dragon Vein for farming seems a bit wasteful. I wonder how many Earth Vein Pill Dragon Vein?
Chen Mobai's mind began to race, wondering if he could use this resource to improve his Earth Spiritual Root, since the orthodox cultivation method of the Primordial Dao Fruit requires the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Root.
The reason he couldn't gain any enlightenment at Golden Light Cliff was probably due to a problem with his Spiritual Root.
If his Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root were replaced with Heavenly Earth Spiritual Root, and he drank a pot of Enlightenment Tea, he would definitely be able to fully comprehend the Primordial Dao Fruit! Unfortunately, this is not an easy task.
After all, if it were just Returning Heaven Valley, Divine Wood Sect could still find a way to destroy it, but this Hua Country is clearly the property of the Starry Skies Dao Sect.
If the crucial Dragon Vein of Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice were drained, even across the Eastern Yi, the Starry Skies Dao Sect might launch a war.
This is a super sect with several Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, dominating the entire Dongyue Realm.
Once enraged, it has the power to turn the entire Eastern Wasteland into ruins.
"I'm still not strong enough!" Chen Mobai thought to himself, a smile on his face, as he continued to discuss Spirit Plant with Yu Shuji.
"Sect Master Chen, since you're here, why don't we discuss the distribution of this year's Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice?"
At this moment, Yan Shaoyin was sitting on the side, finally couldn't sit still any longer and interrupted the two who were getting along better and better.
High-ranking cultivators from major sects generally know that consuming Spirit Rice regularly can refine the physical body and increase the success rate of breaking through realms.
As Core Formation Cultivator at the pinnacle of the Eastern Wasteland, their thirst for Third Tier Spirit Rice is exceptionally strong.
Every year, the Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice from Returning Heaven Valley is in high demand and short supply.
To maintain the improvement of their physical body, Core Formation Cultivator need to consume ten catties of Spirit Rice every day. There are currently nine such sources in the Eastern Wasteland, which would require more than 30,000 catties per year.
However, the annual output of Returning Heaven Valley is only about 15,000 catties. Yan Shaoyin will definitely keep some for himself and leave some for the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the sect who are expected to Core Formation. So, only 10,000 catties can be sold.
In the past, eight thousand jin of this ten thousand jin were divided equally between the Five Elements Sect and the Golden Light Cliff of the Divine Wood Sect, and the remaining two thousand jin were divided among Ji Zhenshi, Nan Shidao, and Kong Lingling.
Now that there are two less, Kong Lingling naturally wouldn't dare to take all two thousand jin by herself. Yan Shaoyin had already informed the Divine Wood Sect and the Five Elements Sect that after the Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice matures, the Five Elements Sect will take four thousand jin and the Divine Wood Sect will take five thousand jin.
The extra thousand catties from the Divine Wood Sect are considered as the amount for Chen Mobai's newly advanced Core Formation!
Neither side has responded to this.
Chen Mobai's visit to Returning Heaven Valley this time was also due to dealing with this matter.
However, he had no need for Third Tier Spirit Rice, because the basic welfare of the Councilor of the Immortal Sect Hall in the immortal Opening the Origin Hall included a sufficient supply of Spirit Rice every year.
If he wanted, Chen Mobai could eat different kinds of Third Tier Spirit Rice every thirty days of the month, and occasionally he could even snatch some precious Fourth Grade Immortal Spirit Rice through the Immortal Sect Network.
Moreover, given enough time, with Zhuo Ming's help, he would definitely be able to research and develop Third Tier Spirit Rice seeds suitable for the environment of Giant Wood Ridge.
However, for now, it is still necessary to purchase Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice for Fu Zongjue and Mo Douguang to consume.
Since Zhou Shengqing no longer has a physical body, there's no need to consider that.
Chen Mobai felt that 5,000 Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice was not enough.
Core Formation Cultivator needs to fully meet their requirements, each person needs at least 4,000 jin per year, which means they need to purchase at least 8,000 jin.
"Master Yan can keep five thousand catties for his own use, and sell the remaining ten thousand catties to my Divine Wood Sect."
Chen Mobai generously offered to buy all of this year's Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice.
"Sect Master Chen is joking. Because of the discovery of the Earth Spirit Locust, this year's harvest may only be 80% of that of previous years. The amount that can be sold is estimated to be only 8,000 catties."
When Yan Shaoyin notified the Divine Wood Sect and the Five Elements Sect, there were no signs of locusts yet, so they misjudged this year's yield.
Yu Shuji, the Vice President of the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association in charge of the Eastern Wasteland region, also heard about the possible reduction in production. He hurriedly traveled from Eastern Peak to Eastern Yi via Large Teleportation Array and then rushed here.
"This is a natural disaster, so we can't blame Master Yan. Let's reduce it to eight thousand catties."
Chen Mobai's words left Yan Shaoyin speechless, but he could only refuse.
"The three Core Formation Cultivator from the Five Elements Sect still need some care. How about we give them three thousand catties, and the Divine Wood Sect takes four thousand catties?"
"Oh, what about the remaining thousand catties?"
"Leave 500 catties for True Person Kong, and keep the rest for myself in Returning Heaven Valley."
This quantity was something Yan Shaoyin had considered for a long time and discussed with Yu Shuji, believing that he had balanced the situation.
After saying this, Chen Mobai fell into a deep thought, seemingly pondering the matter.
His silence immediately made Yan Shaoyin a little nervous. The latter couldn't help but look up at Yu Shuji, wanting him to speak and put some pressure on him to finalize this year's Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice.
Once it's decided this year, it can be followed for the next few decades. Moreover, since Yu Shuji was present, it's considered that the Starry Skies Dao Sect made the decision, and the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect will definitely have to abide by it as well.
However, Yu Shuji hesitated, not because he had just had a pleasant conversation with Chen Mobai, but because the Divine Wood Sect was now too infamous, and with Zhou Shengqing possibly Nascent Formation, even the Starry Skies Dao Sect dared not put too much pressure on them.
Having reached his level of cultivation and status, he needs to be extremely cautious with every statement he makes.
In the Sky River Realm, there are countless cultivators who toil for a thousand years, only to have their sects, which had been the source of their deepest resentment, wiped out after attaining enlightenment.
However, he would definitely help out in Returning Heaven Valley, since they had saved Starry Skies Dao Sect a lot of trouble in the Eastern Wasteland over the years.
Finding a suitable helper is not easy.
"Sect Master Chen, are you satisfied with this quantity? If you think it's too little, I can sell you another thousand catties of Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice this year in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. As long as there are no Locust Plague in the future, Returning Heaven Valley will try its best to guarantee you five thousand catties. How about that?"
Seeing that Chen Mobai still hadn't spoken, Yu Shu said with a Yu Shuji smile, thus showing his sincerity.
As the Vice President of the Starry Skies Great Merchant Association, he has the authority to control the sale of 10,000 jin of Spirit Rice. However, even so, producing 1,000 jin is already quite difficult.
After all, the Locust Plague has the greatest impact on their 70% of Spirit Rice.
"Since Master Yu says so, let's proceed with this allocation."
Chen Mobai was waiting for Yu Shuji to speak. In the Eastern Wasteland, he no longer feared anyone, but he still needed to show some respect to the powerful Starry Skies Dao Sect.
In previous years, the Divine Wood Sect would also purchase other Third Tier Spirit Rice from the Chamber of Commerce or Eastern Yi for their Core Formation Ancestors to consume. Being able to buy 5,000 jin from Returning Heaven Valley was already considered quite good.
"Very good, very good! Although Sect Master Chen is young, he is very sensible!"
Yu Shuji was quite satisfied after hearing this, feeling that he had made a great impression.
"By the way, I heard that there is a lot of Green Wood Sha in Returning Heaven Valley. I have just completed the Crimson Flame Sword Art and need to use it to condense sword fiend. I wonder if you can sell it to me?"
After discussing the Coiled Dragon Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai began to talk about his own affairs.
"Oh, how much does Sect Master Chen need?"
Yan Shaoyin had not yet realized the meaning of the words "Mastery of the Crimson Flame Sword Art" and asked casually.
"The more the better, eighty-one would be the best!"
"Where did you get so many? This Green Wood Sha is also an excellent spiritual material for increasing the temperature of flames. I need to put one into it when I refine high-grade pills. Right now, I only have about twenty in the Earth Sha Yin Cave. If Sect Master Chen needs them, I can give you one or two."
Yan Shaoyin shook his head, indicating that the Green Wood Sha was also very useful to him.
"Sect Master Chen, could it be that you have mastered the Golden Flame technique!?"
But at this moment, Yu Shuji's expression changed slightly, and he spoke in shock! (Bonus chapter for 20006/20000 monthly votes)
