I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2334 - 1056:

Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense swept across the territory of East Wu, meticulously observing the landscape.

The scars of war that once marred the land had vanished, leaving no trace of the scorched earth that followed the conflict.

The deep canyons, ravines, and jagged pits left behind by the Spirit Vein explosions were gone. Under the leadership of Zhuo Ming, the Five Elements Sect Earth Masters had transformed East Wu into a super flatland, a feat of terrain engineering unprecedented on the East Continent.

Neat squares of rice paddies now stretched along the borders of Yun Meng Ze.

As the wind brushed through the stalks, the grains shimmered with a vibrant five-colored glow. This mature Five-Colored Rice had already established itself as a signature product of the Five Elements Commerce Association.

Utilizing agricultural puppet machinery designed by Chen Mobai, many disciples from the Five Elements Sect’s Spirit Plant Department were able to harvest hundreds of acres individually with minimal effort.

Beyond the sect disciples, new settlements had sprouted near the rice fields. These villages were home to East Wu descendants who had returned to their ancestral lands once Zhuo Ming had stabilized the region.

Upon their arrival, the Five Elements Sect distributed these families across the Twelve Prefectures, which had been rebuilt around Spirit Field production zones to assist in tending the Spirit Rice.

Their primary responsibility was constant vigilance.

They were required to report any abnormalities in the Spirit Rice immediately through the chain of command, ensuring the Five Elements Sect remained fully informed.

Following Chen Mobai’s directives, King Zhou Wangshen had dedicated himself to the development of East Wu, eager to demonstrate his competence. To this end, he stationed several core disciples from the Five Elements Sect within the twelve reconstructed counties.

The majority of these disciples were either Spirit Plant Masters or Earth Masters.

Each was personally accountable for at least one hundred acres of Spirit Fields; any failure in the crops would be traced directly back to the individual in charge.

A poor harvest of Spirit Rice would result in a rigorous investigation into the cause.

As the assets of the Five Elements Sect expanded, resources remained plentiful for those at the top, yet competition grew increasingly intense for those at the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment levels.

To manage this, Chen Mobai had long ago implemented a system of annual minor assessments and major decennial evaluations.

Specific assessment standards were set for every disciple level, covering fields such as mining, farming, beast keeping, herb gathering, demon hunting, law enforcement, garrison duties, treasure quests, alchemy, formation tools, talisman making, and the teaching of cultivation techniques.

A disciple had to pass these evaluations to receive their full annual benefits.

Excellent performance was met with rewards, while poor results led to penalties, ranging from simple warnings to the deduction of Spirit Stones and beyond.

Because Yun Meng Ze separated East Wu from the Eastern Wilderness, King Zhou Wangshen had essentially created a miniature version of the Five Elements Sect, centralizing all assessment authority under his own command.

Chen Mobai provided full backing for this administrative structure.

To provide incentives, E Yun allocated ten percent of the Five Elements Sect’s total production of Talismans, Magic Artifacts, and Foundation Establishment Trithings to be used as rewards in this region.

Driven by these prizes, many disciples who struggled to stand out at the Eastern Wilderness headquarters chose to seek their fortunes in East Wu.

There were already documented cases of disciples who, through exceptional performance in their tasks, had successfully earned Foundation Establishment Trithings.

With the power to reward and punish, King Zhou Wangshen managed the sect disciples in East Wu with total authority. Nevertheless, he remained acutely aware that his true objective was to please Chen Mobai.

Consequently, he frequently patrolled the various regions of East Wu in person, often intervening directly to solve problems that were beyond the capabilities of the ordinary sect disciples.

Due to the sheer scale of East Wu, only a limited number of Five Elements Sect disciples were willing to endure the hardships of life there.

To compensate, King Zhou Wangshen recruited numerous loose cultivators and even former cultivator families from East Wu, hoping to utilize them to reclaim the still-barren outskirts of the territory.

However, the established cultivator families showed no interest in returning.

Having suffered through the war to earn the sympathy of the Five Elements Sect and gain status as respected residents of the Eastern Wilderness, they saw no reason to move backward.

Only those rogue cultivators with questionable reputations or loose cultivators who were truly desperate chose to take up the offer.

With a mere thought, Chen Mobai utilized Void Teleportation to appear at the edge of a Spirit Field that was nearly ready for harvest.

The reconstruction of East Wu had required the re-establishment of the Large Formation as its first priority.

Chen Mobai had previously entrusted the Array Diagram to Yi Shaoqing, who led the Formation Division disciples in extending the Sky Curtain Ground Network to encompass this entire region.

This network allowed Chen Mobai to teleport to the area instantly.

A small village sat near the Spirit Field, with smoke curling from chimneys as the sun began to set. The five-colored light of the rice ears shimmered as they swayed in the breeze. Farmers could be seen weeding the fields, their faces reflecting the joy of a coming harvest despite their sweat.

Even though the Five Elements Sect owned these Spirit Fields, a successful harvest meant significant bonuses for the laborers.

For them, items like ironware, fabrics, grains, meat, vegetable seeds, and even pre-fabricated wooden houses were invaluable rewards.

Under the governance of the Five Elements Sect, the returning people of East Wu were experiencing a level of prosperity they had never known before.

Observing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly in approval, recognizing the work King Zhou Wangshen had put into developing the land.

He then moved on to inspect a forestry production zone within East Wu.

Per his instructions, any land unsuitable for Spirit Fields had been planted with various Spirit Plants and Spirit Woods to account for the labor shortage. Zhuo Ming had even diverted water from Yun Meng Ze to flow through these forests, ensuring the plantations remained well-nourished.
