I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1839: Chapter 922: Sword Embryo (14k)

“Greetings, Master!”

As soon as Chen Mobai landed, both Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan immediately saluted him.

“Master, when I transcended the tribulation, I destroyed the Green Scale Arm Guard you gifted me, and I feel very guilty.”

Liu Wenbo reached out to gather the shattered fish scale fragments from the ground, speaking apologetically.

“This Green Scale Arm Guard was only Rank-2 anyway. It was just the right time for it to break during the tribulation. I previously slew that Poisonous Dragon and have some Rank-5 scales. I’ll refine and renew one for you.”

Chen Mobai, however, did not mind at all. Among his four disciples, although each was pre-arranged with a Lifebound Artifact Embryo, and they each had at least one Rank-3 artifact after Core Formation, being disciples of a master in the art of artifact refining and living in the dangerous world of the Tianhe Realm, they needed to carry at least two or three artifacts to feel secure.

It was just as well; now that he had accomplished proficiency in Artifact Refining Technique, and held many precious materials in hand, he intended to upgrade his disciples’ artifacts.

“Disciple gratefully thanks Master’s grace!”

Liu Wenbo was very pleased to hear this.

An artifact refined from Rank-5 materials? It could probably hold its own even against a Nascent Soul master.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

At this moment, E Yun and Song Huangdae also arrived. After saluting, they reported on the situation with Xiao Yuli.

Chen Mobai looked over and saw the beautiful female cultivator standing not far away, her eyebrows like new moons and features exquisite.

“Please come promptly.”

Chen Mobai immediately invited her. No matter what, the Primordial Ancestral Master of their Five Elements Sect came from Yi Yuan Dao Palace, and the respect due must be shown.

Furthermore, it was also a good opportunity to address his identity issue.

“Xiao Yuli from Yi Yuan Dao Palace, greets Senior Chen.”

Xiao Yuli followed E Yun over, also very polite.

“Taoist friend, please have a seat.”

In the small courtyard atop Chen Mobai’s mountain, there was a tea table beneath Everlife Wood, accompanied by several wooden stools. Usually, Zhou Shengqing and others would sit here drinking tea and chatting.

After they sat down, Liu Wenbo returned to his cave dwelling to consolidate his realm, while E Yun and Song Huangdae took their leave.

Only Luo Yixuan stayed behind under the pretense of assisting with the tea, and Chen Mobai allowed her to do so.

Xiao Yuli: “Senior, I came this time mainly to inquire about something.”

Chen Mobai: “Please speak.”

Xiao Yuli: “My senior brother Chen Lingming parted ways with me two years ago, saying he was coming to the Eastern Wilderness to speak with Senior. I wonder if you have seen my senior brother.”

Chen Mobai: “I have not!”

On this point, Chen Mobai was very certain because, after returning from the East Land, he and Qing Nu spent a year in Wanhua Immortal City refining the Pure Yang Condensation Pill. Then, he returned to the Immortal Gate to consume the elixir and enhance his cultivation level for another year, after which he learned Artifact Refining Technique and refined three artifacts for Qing Nu for another half a year.

During these nearly three years, at least in the Eastern Wilderness, he hadn’t seen any outsiders.

“In that case, it seems my senior brother may have met with trouble.”

Xiao Yuli sighed upon hearing Chen Mobai’s response.

“Oh, what makes you say that?”

Chen Mobai looked puzzled. How did the absence of him seeing the person translate to trouble?

Xiao Yuli: “It’s like this, more than two years ago, he and I descended the mountain, splitting our paths. I went to Star Heaven Dao Sect in the name of Dao Palace to exchange for Three Lights Divine Water, while he came to the Eastern Wilderness to discuss the Reclamation Order with you, Senior.”

Xiao Yuli: “Star Heaven Dao Sect said they had no stock of the Three Lights Divine Water and needed to gather materials anew for refining. So, I traveled through every Immortal City in the East Land to broaden my knowledge.”

Xiao Yuli: “Six months ago, Star Heaven Dao Sect sent word that the Three Lights Divine Water was ready and even offered to deliver it to Mount Wudi. When I returned after receiving the news, I learned that my senior brother had never come back, though his Soul Lantern still burns bright, so the Dao Palace elders sent me here to inquire from you, Senior.”

After listening, Chen Mobai nodded gently, yet another matter surfaced in his mind.

“Star Heaven Dao Sect previously always mistook me as a Taoist Child from Yi Yuan Dao Palace. Now that you’ve been there, I suppose this matter should be clarified, correct?”

Star Heaven Dao Sect had been striving to contact Yi Yuan Dao Palace for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, and with Xiao Yuli voluntarily approaching them, there was no reason not to address this. However, Chen Mobai didn’t want to get involved, so he didn’t ask further, primarily wishing to clarify his identity.

“Reporting to Senior, since the Dao Palace’s Taoist Child and Saintess previously encountered incidents, during our descent my fellow senior and I did not disclose our identities to outsiders. Although Star Heaven Dao Sect inquired, I only stated I was following orders from the sect elders to exchange for Three Lights Divine Water. Later, when Xing Ji Elder delivered the Water to Mount Wudi, I heard there were exchanges with several mountain lords, yet I, being outside, could not learn the specifics.”

After hearing Xiao Yuli’s words, Chen Mobai nodded slightly. At this point, Luo Yixuan had prepared Green Charm Spiritual Tea and handed each of them a cup.

“I will notify my subordinates to inform me immediately if they uncover news about your sect’s fellow Taoist Chen Lingming in the Eastern Wilderness.”

Chen Mobai had interests in the Ascension Secret Method and other treasures within Yi Yuan Dao Palace, thus extending goodwill.

“Thank you, Senior. Actually, there is another matter for which I came.”

Xiao Yuli’s words caused a pause in Chen Mobai’s tea-drinking motion.

This must be the main matter!

“About one and a half ’jiazi’ of time from now, Dao Morale Sect will initiate the Reclamation Order, and at that time, the Four Great Sacred Lands of the East Land must send representatives. However, as Yi Yuan Dao Palace is still sealed off due to severe damage to Ming Zun’s vital energy while defending, we may be unable to dispatch sufficient resources. Conveniently, the Eastern Wilderness is near the frontier of reclamation, and I wonder if you, Senior, are willing to lead the Five Elements Sect to accept this Reclamation Order on behalf of Yi Yuan Dao Palace.”
