I Have A Cultivation World C.394 - 297: Accepting Another Disciple_1

Chapter 394: Chapter 297: Accepting Another Disciple_1

“This item is indeed precious, but it should have been given to the sect, shouldn’t it?”

As Chen Mobai spoke, he picked up the third-ranked medicinal herb to verify the knowledge he had learned about medicinal herbs over the past two years.

“Elder Chen indeed possesses keen eyes. Our Luo family’s Spirit Camel Mountain is very suitable for the growth of this herb, so we deliberately allocated a garden to plant it. The family has planted it for over three hundred years, and now it has become a considerable scale. Every ten years we would provide the sect with a Camelweed.”

Luo Yixuan did not hide anything and told the truth upon Chen Mobai’s inquiry.

“Since it’s meant for the sect, isn’t gifting it to me jeopardizing the sect’s crucial task of formulating the Foundation Building Pill?”

Chen Mobai spoke again, and Luo Yixuan laughed softly, uttering a thought-provoking statement.

“In fact, every ten years, a few Camelweeds mature in our family’s medicinal garden. Besides supplying to the sect, we are willing to sell the rest to other major sects in the Eastern Wilderness should they need it.”

In the Tianhe Realm, cultivator families are mostly affiliated with major sects, but each has its unique means of support.

For instance, Liu Wenbo’s family fish farming technique in South Creek, where Chen Mobai originated from, and the Luo family’s Spirit Camel cultivation.

No matter which family it is, if they can secure a piece of Spiritual Land for survival, they would typically establish a medicinal garden to cultivate spiritual medicines.

After all, everyone in the Tianhe Realm knows that the best way to enhance one’s cultivation is by consuming pills.

Moreover, once a cultivator has reached a high level of achievement, Spirit Stones will no longer attract top-ranked cultivators, and centurial medicinal materials and millennial medicinal herbs would become the main currency for transactions.

The seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness are supportive of this.

Everyone knows that if you want to catch a net full of fish and shrimp, you must first feed them well.

However, the seven major sects understand the principle of sustainable development. As long as the Cultivator families are law-abiding, they would purchase the high-age medicinal materials they cultivated based on the prevailing market values.

At least a hundred different varieties of primary and auxiliary herbs are needed for the formulation of Rank-3 and higher pills.

As for herbs, they are very dependent on the quality of the Spirit Soil and climate. Although Giant Tree Ridge boasts thousands of acres of medicinal fields, some herbs simply cannot be cultivated and grown here. The sect has established many secondary manors for cultivation in various parts of the four kingdoms. Due to the lack of manpower, many tasks are delegated to the lower cultivator families, resulting in better outcomes.

This Luo family’s “Camelweed” is one such case.

Every time the Divine Wood Sect wants to formulate the Foundation Building Pill, they would purchase one Rank-3 Camelweed from Luo’s family.

“So, this one is supposed to be sold to the sect.”

Chen Mobai asked, Luo Yixuan nodded in approval.

“Last night, my brother reported the current situation within the sect to our family patriarch through the Concentric Talisman. The patriarch will instruct our family to urgently transport one Camelweed to the sect for pill formation. This one is given to Elder Chen as a thank you for your fair words.”

As the Divine Wood Sect was going to process the Foundation Building Pill, even though most of the primary and auxiliary herbs can be picked from Giant Tree Ridge, there are also some that need purchasing from other cultivator families and merchant groups. Therefore, this Camelweed from Luo’s family, being delayed for just two days, was not a big deal.

Even though Luo Yixuan reassured him, Chen Mobai put the valuable Rank-3 herb back into the jade box and closed the lid after hearing her words.

“I have accepted the gratitude from Luo’s family. As for this Camelweed, it’s best to leave it for the sect.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, he signaled Luo Yixuan to take back the item, the latter, slightly startled, hesitated and dared not to approach.

“Although it would only cause a two-day delay as you mentioned, matters of the sect definitely take precedence over my personal affairs, so this herb must first be given to the sect.”

Zhuo Ming was somewhat puzzled by his words, but Luo Yixuan understood, her face initially puzzled then enlightened, and finally, wore an enlightened look. She respectfully collected the jade box.

“I should learn from Elder Chen’s attitude of prioritizing the sect.”

Once Luo Yixuan finished her words, she picked up the box and stood by his side.

“I have something I want to ask you. If it’s inconvenient for you to answer, you don’t have to.”

Seeing the beautiful girl in palace attire right in front of him, Chen Mobai remembered the matter of the sect competition and asked her. Luo Yixuan nodded, signifying that he could ask whatever he wanted.

“Why do you hide your cultivation level? Are you afraid of overshadowing your brother?”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic flashed through Luo Yixuan’s eyes, but then she gave a bitter laugh and shook her head.

“Indeed, I cannot hide my Returning Essence Secret Technique from Foundation Establishment cultivators.”

“No, you’ve practiced it quite well. Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators you’ve encountered, probably only I can see through your disguise.”

Luo Yixuan stood still for a long time. Just when Chen Mobai thought she didn’t want to answer, she sighed and began to speak.

“In the family, females are always married out. If you perform too brilliantly and your reputation spreads, other cultivator families nearby will send people to marry you, treating you as a breeding tool. Or, you might be favored by a top-ranked cultivator from the upper sect and treated as a medicinal furnace. Although my brother and I share the same father, we have different mothers.”

“My mother was a female cultivator from a small family in the Yun Country. Due to her beautiful looks and decent spiritual root talent, she was taken as the sixth Daoist partner by my father at the age of eighteen for a hundred spirit stones and two rank-1 magic artifacts.”
