I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 817: Chapter 464: Return to the Clan_2 Chapter 817: Chapter 464: Return to the Clan_2 Fu Zongjue sighed and then asked Zhou Wangshen, who was standing beside him, to recount the recent events.

The stratagem was not actually Fu Zongjue’s idea but an initiative taken by Zhou Wangshen himself.

However, before Zhou Wangshen took action, he had considered the worst-case scenario and had sent a message to Fu Zongjue’s Puppet Body.

Turns out, Nanxuan Jing was even more ruthless than Zhou Wangshen had anticipated.

Zhou Wangshen had thought at most Nanxuan Jing would turn hostile and try to kill him, but instead, Nanxuan Jing planned to kill both the Jiao family and Zhou Wangshen’s group to cut off future troubles once and for all.

If Fu Zongjue had not followed, Chen Mobai might have had to collect Zhou Wangshen’s corpse today.

“From now on, let’s put an end to these little schemes and honestly develop Beiyuan Fang Market. In the end, the outcome will depend on Brother Zhou’s side.”

After Zhou Wangshen finished speaking, Fu Zongjue added his own thoughts. The former smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.

“You too, nephew Chen. Now that Shake Mountain Peak is destroyed and the remnants can no longer stir up any waves, my suggestion is you return to the sect and focus on your cultivation. After all, you are currently the Guard of the Founding Nation, and to be away for two years is indeed quite long.”

Fu Zongjue’s words caused some surprise among those present, including Zhou Wangshen and Yue Zutao. After all, the old ancestor had always been openly appreciative of Chen Mobai, so were his words suggesting that Chen Mobai give up the Beiyuan Fang Market he had worked so hard to establish?

“Yes, thank you, Elder Ancestor!”

As they wondered what Chen Mobai might have done to displease Elder Ancestor Fu, Mobai unexpectedly accepted the suggestion with an excited tone.

It turns out that Fu Zongjue had secretly informed Chen Mobai via telepathy that Yan Shaoyin, after over a year of collection, had already ordered all the main and auxiliary medicines required for the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.

They were just waiting for Starry Sky Commerce Guild’s next arrival in the Eastern Wilderness to bring the last three types of Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine so that they could start the alchemy process.

Although elixirs of Rank-3 and above can be stored for many years after successful refinement, their efficacy is undoubtedly the best right after they are created.

Therefore, Fu Zongjue hopes that Chen Mobai stops dealing with these various trivial matters and returns to the sect to concentrate fully on his cultivation, striving to reach Foundation Establishment Completion as soon as possible.

After all, in the concept of the Eastern Wilderness, there is no bottleneck from Foundation Establishment Late Phase to Foundation Establishment Completion; one only needs sufficient Spiritual Energy and elixirs to achieve it at a very fast pace.

Fu Zongjue even offered to have Zeng Woyou stop refining Foundation Building Pills and instead help Chen Mobai refine a batch of elixir suitable for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Late Phase to enhance their Spiritual Power.

Touched by this, Chen Mobai firmly declined.

He stated that Foundation Building Pills were crucial to the future of the sect and could not be delayed on his account; his personal matters should never take precedence over the sect.

After hearing this, Fu Zongjue grew even more satisfied with Chen Mobai.

This child is truly reliable.

Not like the descendants of Brother Zhou, who despite a robust appearance, are full of crafty schemes.

Upon learning of Yan Shaoyin’s upcoming refinement of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill, Chen Mobai also lost interest in developing commerce and founding an Immortal City in Rock Country.

However, even if he were to leave, these matters would still need to be entrusted to someone he trusts.

“The sect still needs to appoint Town Guards in both Rock Country and Sky Country, with Rock Country being the most critical and urgent. It’s a pity that Brother Zhou is already the Town Guard of Lei Nation; otherwise, he would have been quite suitable.”

At Chen Mobai’s words, Zhou Wangshen hesitated as he had something to say, thinking that he could actually resign from the position of Town Guard in Lei Nation to take up the post here in Rock Country.

But recalling how he was powerless against Nanxuan Jing not so long ago, even though Fu Zongjue would have a Puppet Body stationed here permanently, he still wavered for a moment.

“Among the fellow sect members here, only Brother Yue has the suitable capability and seniority. I wonder what Elder Ancestor Fu thinks?”

Chen Mobai nominated Yue Zutao. He was a disciple of Chu Zuoshu and indeed a rightful direct descendant of the Divine Wood Sect.

Even though his cultivation level had been sealed because of consuming the Tree Fruit, he was at the peak of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and with Rock Country heading into an extended period of peace, it was just right for him to shine.

“Agreed.”

At Chen Mobai’s suggestion, Fu Zongjue simply nodded. His agreement, in the absence of Sect Leader Zhou Shengqing’s presence, was practically a decree surpassing the Sect Leader’s commands.

“Elder Ancestor, now that both Rock Country and Sky Country have fallen, Lei Nation is essentially the sect’s hinterland, which will no longer suffer frequent turmoils like the past wars. How about we choose another junior brother to take over the position of Town Guard? I will go to Sky Country to spread the sect’s grand doctrine.”

At this moment, Zhou Wangshen bit the bullet and stepped forward, volunteering.

He had shown mediocre performance in this war but still aspired for the Sect Leader position. Thus, without the post in Rock Country, he would settle for Sky Country, hoping to achieve some significant results.

“Agreed!” After a moment of contemplation, Fu Zongjue also nodded and then turned to Chen Mobai and asked, “Who do you think is suitable for the position of Town Guard in Lei Nation?”

Zhou Wangshen was keen to recommend someone of his own, but he knew better since Fu Zongjue had not asked him, so he decided it was best to keep quiet.

“Junior Brother Yuan once spent quite some time in Lei Nation and is familiar with the cultivator families and culture there. After entering Rock Country, he was at the forefront in seizing the Spirit Stone Mine, contributing greatly. Why not let him take over?”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye, who was standing in the corner, showed a look of surprise. He certainly hadn’t expected to be nominated.
