I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 387: Chapter 293 Human Sentiments_2

A Beast Foundation Building Pill was completed; regardless of how many pills were made, Mu Yuan would certainly have one.

In response to this, E Yun just gave a faint smile without expressing any opinion.

The three went on to discuss how the situation would change after Meng Hong’s abdication until it was getting dark. Liu Wenbo returned from participating in the Sect Competition, and then E Yun and Yuan Chiye took their leave.

“Master, did elder brother easily achieve victory today?”

Zhuo Ming contributed eagerly to Liu Wenbo’s victory report. The siblings had set out early in the morning. Even though she did not participate, she got a great joy out of watching Magic Duels.

“Good, be sure to remind me to watch before the True Disciple stage.”

Chen Mobai was interested in watching the Sect Competition in the two years just after his Foundation Establishment. But now, the level of the Qi Cultivation disciples’ Magic Duels, can no longer attract him.

If it wasn’t for the critical True Disciple stage and his own disciples and several friends participating, Chen Mobai probably wouldn’t even go watch the last few rounds of battles among True Disciples.

“Master, are you going out this late?”

Zhuo Ming was about to prepare some Spirit Delicacies and warm a pot of wine when she saw Chen Mobai heading towards the door.

“I have an old friend to meet.”

Chen Mobai sent out a Message Talisman before leaving. Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming didn’t dare to ask whom he was going to see, they just watched him leave.

About an hour later.

On a slope outside Divine Wood City, Chen Mobai stood there basking in the fresh wind, utterly at ease.

He saw a stern young man dressed in black clothes flying over from a distance, and in no time at all, he was at the bottom of the slope. After seeing Chen Mobai, he sprung up and landed right next to him.

“Chen Uncle, why did you call me out so late? Is there something important?”

Yu Lian asked with a puzzled look.

This being within the Divine Wood Sect, if it was anywhere outside Giant Tree Ridge, he would not have come alone.

“With your talent and Cultivation Level, becoming a True Disciple should be as easy as lifting your hand.”

Chen Mobai asked a question to which Yu Lian was puzzled, as they both had a brief conversation last time.

“Becoming a True Disciple is for obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, and the next batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom will mature in four years. If I become a True Disciple before then, it would only expose my spells and Magic Artifacts, which I do not want to.”

Yu Lian provided a reasoning consistent with Chen Mobai’s understanding.

Indeed, although becoming a True Disciple would bring more Spirit Stone salaries each year, and decent Spiritual Land for cultivation.

But for Yu Lian, who was already under the tutelage of Shan Hongyi, practicing Qi Cultivation in a Rank-3 Spirit Vein land, and already possessed plentiful Spirit Stone savings before joining the Divine Wood Sect, these benefits didn’t matter much.

What could truly attract him to become a True Disciple was just the Foundation Building Pill.

In order to ensure a moment of glory in the Sect Competition when the Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms mature, also the most heated competition year, it is indeed best to remain unmoved as a mountain now.

“What if I said that the Sect is already preparing to refine a batch of Foundation Building Pills.”

Chen Mobai stated a sentence that made Yu Lian’s eyes widen.

“Is this true.”

Without Chen Mobai reminding him, Yu Lian already thought of the Beast Foundation Building Pill. After all, the most dazzling Chief for the past century in the Divine Wood Sect accomplished his Foundation Establishment this way.

This successful example has caused other True Disciple who originally doubted the Beast Foundation Building Pill to lump it in with the orthodox Foundation Building Pill in their minds.

If he had the opportunity to obtain a Beast Foundation Building Pill, Yu Lian felt that there was no need to hide anymore.

“Unfortunately, the Sect Competition has already begun this year and you didn’t sign up.”

Chen Mobai shook his head and sighed again.

“After the True Disciples are determined, the disciples who did not register have the right to challenge the twenty-four True Disciples.”

Yu Lian spoke coldly. Although he wasn’t interested in True Disciples, he was very aware of the rules of the Sect.

“But True Disciples also have the right to refuse a challenge.”

Chen Mobai countered, after all, even True Disciples could get hurt in the Sect Competition. To prevent others from taking advantage of their weakness, the Divine Wood Sect had given True Disciples the power to refuse a challenge.

“I will challenge those True Disciples who won easily and are in good condition. If they don’t want to be laughed at by the Sect’s people, they will surely accept.”

Yu Lian had already figured out his plan upon hearing about the Beast Foundation Building Pill.

“Hmm, a Beast Foundation Building Pill can yield only two or three pills per batch. If you want to compete for it, you’ll have to work hard.”

Having said this, Chen Mobai left with a smile.

“Why has Uncle Master Chen told me about this?”

Yu Lian immediately asked. Although he was somewhat of a fellow townsman with Chen Mobai, they never had any interaction during their time in the Bud Hall. Their only exchange had been when buying Red Sun Wood for firewood and Chen Mobai’s attitude had been quite aloof.

As a Loose Cultivator who had already experienced plenty of bloodshed before joining the sect, the unexpected cordiality from Chen Mobai made him somewhat uneasy.

“I’m a person who values the camaraderie of our hometown greatly. You have potential, so I thought I’d share this with you.”

“If Uncle Master Chen needs anything in the future, as long as it is within my capabilities, I will not refuse?”

Facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yu Lian could only make such a promise.

“We’ll discuss that when you achieve Foundation Establishment.”

As Chen Mobai spoke these words, he had already stepped onto a cloud of smoke and mist, flying away from this hillside.

Seeing this, Yu Lian clenched his fists tightly.

Foundation Establishment, he must achieve Foundation Establishment.

Only by achieving Foundation Establishment could he avenge the annihilation of his sect.

The sect’s grand competition soon reached the crucial battle to become a True Disciple.

On the dueling platform, Luo Yixiu, with an arrogant expression, defeated a True Disciple from last year and proudly displayed his “mighty” cultivation level.

While in the tea house next door, in one of the elegant rooms on the second floor.

Dressed in a white palace costume, with a scholarly demeanor and fair skin, Luo Yixuan knelt in front of two Foundation Establishment elders of the sect, a look of anxiety on her face.

“To avoid affecting your mood during the sect’s grand competition, we didn’t inform you and your brother in time. Now that you’ve been eliminated this round, we thought it was a good time to tell you about it.”

Across from Luo Yixuan, Yuan Chiye sipped his tea, informing her about the incident at the Spirit Stone Mine in Lei Nation and the possible mishap involving Luo Shupin.

“Please see reason, our great-uncle would never betray the sect.”

All Luo Yixuan could say was this. The Luo family’s foundation in the Yun Country was solidified not only by their patriarch who had achieved Foundation Establishment, but also by Luo Shupin in the Divine Wood Sect.

Anyway, once the crime of betrayal was confirmed, not only the Luo family disciples in the Divine Wood Sect, but all of the Luo family in Yun Country could be implicated.

After all, the large sects in the Eastern Wilderness, despite the decades of peace, all had bloody pasts to their beginnings. The methods to extinguish cultivating families and minor sects were numerous.

“It’s because we trust Senior Disciple Luo that the sect wants to send someone to investigate the truth.”

After Yu Chiye uttered these words, he took out a letter from E Yun and handed it over to Luo Yixuan.

“After the grand sect competition, Senior Disciple E would like to invite you and your brother over for tea. Expect you to relay everything you’ve seen and heard in Lei Nation during these past few years without omitting any details. We are informing you in advance so you can recount everything accurately when the time comes.”

After saying this, Yu Chiye waved his hand, indicating that Luo Yixuan could leave.

Chen Mobai had been sitting on the side drinking tea, silent throughout the entire conversation.

Before she left, Luo Yixuan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but eventually bowed her head and withdrew due to the silent pressure from the two Foundation Establishment elders.

“Oh, Luo Yixiu has become a True Disciple.”

At this moment, Yuan Chiye opened the window and saw Luo Yixiu stepping down from the dueling platform.

“Among our generation, his talent could be ranked within the top five. He deserves such an achievement.”

Chen Mobai uttered a sentence that confused Yuan Chiye.

“Top five? He’s the second to become a True Disciple after you. How did you calculate this top five?”

When faced with Yuan Chiye’s doubts, Chen Mobai pointed to himself.

He was ranked first, an assertion Yuan Chiye had no objections to.

“Yu Lian, Luo Yixuan, my disciple, then Luo Yixiu — he is fifth.”

“I can accept Yu Lian, but didn’t Luo Yixuan get eliminated before him?”

Yuan Chiye remained confused.

“She has cultivated a peculiar technique that conceals her cultivation level and Divine Sense, but it couldn’t fool my eyes.”

Chen Mobai gently began to speak.

After hearing these words, Yuan Chiye looked surprised. He stared at Luo Yixuan, who had just left the tea house, and approached the smug-looking Luo Yixiu. With the reminder from Chen Mobai, he observed more carefully and as a cultivator who had achieved Foundation Establishment, he indeed noticed something.
