Chapter 2834: Chapter 1317: The Star Heaven Dao Sect Splits
The Water Virtue Sect Leader ultimately failed to report to Chen Mobai.
Because there was no means of contact.
It was a sub-sect divided from the Yi Yuan Dao Palace, and they didn’t have a Heavenly Communication Device configured.
But eventually, Chen Mobai became aware of this matter because Xiao Yuli thought the Rank-4 missions were insufficient. At this rate, even if she worked her whole life, she wouldn’t be able to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for the Longevity Great Dao Pill.
Xiao Yuli originally intended to bring Chen Lingming along, but the latter was quite astute. He roughly understood why Chen Mobai set such a high contribution point requirement; it was to intentionally hold back those sub-sects, allowing enough growth and promotion time for the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect.
Moreover, even if Chen Mobai were to show some leniency, it would only be laying a bridge for the older generation Nascent Soul cultivators like Yan Huo.
Chen Lingming was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
He too needed time to improve his cultivation level.
But Xiao Yuli had a simpler thought, feeling that as a sub-sect, she was wronged, so she directly visited the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion to pay respects.
"This is simple."
Since it came to him, Chen Mobai naturally had to give some feedback, so he directly issued dozens of Rank-4 missions in his own name.
These were all arduous tasks involving setting up sub-sects beyond the East Continent, expanding commerce associations, and establishing scholarly mansions, which were time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Regarding the Five Elements Commerce Association, Chen Mobai had considered this for a long time.
The resources of the Five Elements Sect ranked at the bottom among all the Holy Lands in the Tianhe Realm. Its current advantages were his artifact refining and Qing Nu’s alchemy.
Using high-quality magic artifacts and elixirs as a selling point, they would open up the business routes of the Five Elements Sect.
However, matters like setting up branches in unfamiliar places were highly challenging. Even Qing Nu faced overt and covert suppression from the local Holy Lands when she opened the Danxia Pavilion in the Southern State.
If there wasn’t a Divinity Transformation cultivator overseeing, they would likely be driven back upon arrival.
Therefore, for these tasks, Chen Mobai set the minimum contribution at a million, and if the evaluation results were excellent, it could reach up to ten million.
Of course, the standards for evaluating results were in Chen Mobai’s control.
In addition to these tasks for developing markets beyond the East Continent, there were naturally some within the East Continent.
For instance, the task of sand management, which no high-rank cultivator had been willing to undertake before.
After over two hundred years of governance under the Five Elements Sect, the Boundless Sand Sea had already been transformed into another vast woodland, comparable to the Eastern Wilderness Plateau.
However, the spiritual energy in these areas was weak and could only be maintained for local cultivators through the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, so the Five Elements Sect’s high rank cultivators always dreaded this task like a tiger.
Usually, it was those who made mistakes that would be sent for sand management.
Besides Zhuo Ming’s initial grand aspiration, the persistence in this matter was also due to the lack of living space for the populace under the Five Elements Sect.
Zhuo Ming improved many grain seeds, leading to a population explosion among the mortal populace under the Five Elements Sect, causing housing prices to skyrocket. Unlike the Ruins, the sand sea had no demonic beasts, so once the transformation was completed, it could house numerous people, making it a policy direction for the Five Elements Sect over the years.
It’s just that the absence of participation from high-rank cultivators had always kept the progress less than ideal.
This time, Chen Mobai directly circled a part on the map of the Boundless Sand Sea.
As long as afforestation completes an area comparable to a county, transforming the original sand sea into a habitable place for mortals would count as completing a Rank-4 mission, also worth a million contributions.
Seeing this task, the Water Virtitude Sect Leader accepted an area equivalent to three counties without saying a word.
Practicing Water Attribute Cultivation Techniques and having some knowledge of afforestation, he alone could outmatch a thousand disciples from the Five Elements Sect.
Besides, there are also tasks like developing the Mysterious Sea and Desolate Sea, and caring for and cultivating unique high-rank spirit plants, among others.
After Chen Mobai intervened, the previously emptied Rank-4 mission list suddenly filled the screen of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, leaving the Nascent Soul cultivators overwhelmed, not knowing which one to pick.
"Why are there so many people in Northern Abyss City?"
After handling the follow-up events of the shelving of the Longevity Great Dao Pill, Chen Mobai stood in his courtyard atop North Abyss Mountain, gazing at the sea of people below and even the tents set up outside the Immortal City, asked his disciple beside him, somewhat puzzled.
"Reporting to Master, in half a month, it will be time for the Five Elements Sect to recruit a new batch of guest elders from outsiders. These are cultivators who have come from the seven regions of the East Continent to join our sect," Jiang Zongheng replied.
"Were there always so many people before? I even see a few Nascent Soul cultivators."
Chen Mobai pointed to several cultivators seated in mid-air outside the Immortal City, sitting on the auspicious cloud magic artifacts sold by the Five Elements Sect.
"This is the first time the sect has encountered Nascent Soul cultivators enrolling. They all come for the Longevity Great Dao Pill. After all, being a guest elder is considered part of the Five Elements Sect membership, allowing them to exchange for items from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion."
Jiang Zongheng took out a jade slip, speaking about the background of the Nascent Soul cultivators participating in this year’s examination.
The Nascent Souls outside the Immortal City are all loose cultivators, while inside the city, there are six sect leaders, all of whom have real estate and are members of the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance.
However, in the face of Deity Transformation Pills, they all put aside their dignity and expressed a willingness to leave their sects to serve the Five Elements Sect.
"Master, among this year’s applicants is Xinghuo, the Star Heaven Dao Sect’s Xinghuo Elder."
Jiang Zongheng finished reading the jade slip and mentioned a name that was quite unexpected.
"Xinghuo? Isn’t he the former Taoist Child of the Star Heaven Dao Sect? Are they willing to let him go?"
