I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2322 - 1053: Gifts of the Pure Yang True Lord

"His life used to be so full of bitterness!"

Inside the Nature Studies Academy, Yan Bingxuan’s frame trembled slightly as she processed the "truth" revealed by Yan Qiongzhi. Her mind was in a state of violent upheaval, making her head spin uncontrollably.

In her eyes, her beloved was a peerless genius—the most talented figure in the history of the Immortal Gate and the prime candidate to reach the Void. From the moment he departed Red Sandstone City for the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he should have been a celestial favorite, standing high above the masses.

To her shock, his brilliance had been too radiant, drawing the predatory gaze of an old hag from the Immortal Gate's upper echelons. He had even been coerced into fathering a daughter against his will.

Yan Bingxuan thought back to the moment she finished her Core Formation. Chen Mobai had been waiting outside the Cultivation Room, full of apologies as he explained he had a wife and child and could not be with her. At the time, she had coldly judged him as a scoundrel.

Revisiting that memory now, she realized her silent departure must have caused him profound pain.

"It was my fault; I shouldn’t have blamed him..."

Yan Bingxuan whispered to herself, overcome by a wave of guilt. She felt ashamed for labeling Chen Mobai a scoundrel in her heart all these years.

He must have endured immense suffering to shield her from that old hag’s influence.

The reason he hadn't sought her out after the old hag left was likely because of his daughter. Perhaps he simply wanted her to live a peaceful life, free from the dark shadow that had loomed over him. Even their recent rekindled romance was clearly the result of an irrepressible surge of mutual emotion.

Who could have predicted that their joy would be so fleeting before the old hag returned once more?

This realization ignited a fierce spark of motivation within Yan Bingxuan.

"Teacher, I want to dedicate myself to cultivation. Even if catching up to him is impossible, I refuse to remain his weakness forever."

Yan Qiongzhi observed Yan Bingxuan’s resolute gaze and gave a satisfied nod.

The truth had not broken her; instead, it had tempered her Dao Heart. This would surely put Pure Yang True Monarch's mind at ease. She only hoped that Yan Bingxuan would not lose heart in the future when she realized the staggering chasm between herself and Ancestor White Light.

"Pure Yang True Monarch requested that I give these to you..."

As Yan Qiongzhi spoke, she activated her domain, allowing a flying sword and a jade pendant to descend from the air.

The flying sword radiated a brilliant light and a bone-chilling aura. It was named "Cold Muscle," so called because its snow-white, jade-like blade was as smooth as a maiden's skin.

The jade pendant was a deep icy blue, emitting a faint frost. Named "Heaven Condense," it was crafted in the shape of butterfly wings with delicate snowflake patterns along the edges. Once refined, it could manifest a sturdy ice shield and assist in cultivation by condensing True Qi and Ice Spirit Power.

"Teacher, are these Rank-4 Magic Artifacts?"

After utilizing the Sacramental Refinement Mantra to channel her Ice Spirit Power and bond with the items, Yan Bingxuan gasped in shock.

"These came from the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s vault; Pure Yang True Monarch spent his Good Deed Points to acquire them for you. However, to prevent a stir, you must not show these artifacts in public once they are refined..."

Yan Qiongzhi relayed Chen Mobai’s specific warnings.

Even with Pure Yang True Monarch's protection, two intermediate-grade Rank-4 Magic Artifacts of the ice attribute would be conspicuous. If anyone analyzed the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s records, they would find no Ice Spiritual Root cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Logically, the academy’s treasury should not have contained the Cold Muscle Sword or the Heaven Condensing Pendant.

Of course, if their origin was ever questioned, they could simply claim Ancestor Yun Ya had brought them from the outside world.

Since the Dance Tool Dao Academy was famous at the White Crane Dao Arena for artifact refining and alchemy, possessing Rank-4 artifacts was technically plausible.

"I understand. I won't bring him any trouble," Yan Bingxuan promised with a nod.

Everyone within the Immortal Gate understood the rarity of Rank-4 Magic Artifacts; they were the standard equipment for Nascent Soul Cultivators. Below that level, only those with massive backing like Chen Xiaohei and Zhongli Tianyu, or those with immense talent like Master Chengxuan, possessed them. Even Master Chengxuan’s opportunity was a gift from the academy.

The Rank-4 artifacts held by the Nature Studies Academy were few and strictly registered. Since neither the Cold Muscle Sword nor the Heaven Condensing Pendant was on that list, their appearance would cause a major scandal.

While such a storm would be a minor inconvenience for Chen Mobai, Yan Bingxuan was determined not to let her actions burden him.

"There are also these Spirit Stones that Pure Yang True Monarch wanted you to have..."

Seeing that Yan Bingxuan had begun the preliminary refining of the tools, Yan Qiongzhi produced a bag weighted with Spirit Stones. Yan Bingxuan felt her heart swell with emotion.

Had she not known that Chen Mobai was in seclusion to stabilize his Realm, she would have flown to his side immediately.

...

[I have received everything, thank you!]

[I will devote myself to my cultivation.]

[Teacher explained everything; I realize now how much I misunderstood you.]

[If a similar threat ever returns, I would rather face death than see you forced to bow your head for my sake.]

[In my heart, you will always be that unyielding, magnificent man.]

[I miss you...]

Chen Mobai scrolled through Yan Bingxuan’s messages. When he reached the final line, he nearly abandoned his duties to go to her. Fortunately, his willpower had grown significantly alongside his higher Realm.
