I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2356 - 1064: Dongling Immortal City

High atop the spaceship in a private chamber, Chen Mobai sat cross-legged upon his cushion. His disciple, Luo Yixuan, was positioned before him, accompanied by her strikingly handsome grand-disciple, Han Zhiling.

Near the window, the little Yellow Dragon Girl had assumed her human form. She leaned against the sill with her elbows, quietly observing the shifting sea of clouds outside.

"Master, regarding the situation at Wandering Mountain..."

Luo Yixuan began her report, updating Chen Mobai on the events that had transpired at Wandering Mountain during his absence.

As the years passed, the ancient ruins of the Fanhai Sect had suffered several structural failures in their outer defensive formations, creating gaps that allowed for entry.

Within the East Barbarians, many loose cultivators had been surreptitiously slipping through these breaches, retrieving a variety of treasures dating back to the Eastern Emperor Court era.

Naturally, survival was rare; only a handful returned, while the vast majority vanished into the depths, never to be seen again.

Because the ruins sat directly on the border between the Five Elements Sect and the Sun Bathing Sea, the site attracted more than just local East Barbarians. Cultivators from East Land and East Yu frequently heard rumors and formed parties to travel through Teleportation Arrays to explore the Secret Realm.

To monitor the area, the Sun Bathing Sea had stationed a Golden Core cultivator named Liu Nan Sheng.

The factions of the Five Elements Sect and the Sun Bathing Sea maintained a silent agreement to guard the primary access points of the Wandering Mountain ruins. These paths had been established over the years through the sacrifice of countless cultivators, offering routes with reduced danger and fewer restrictions.

The two sects did not enforce a total monopoly; they allowed outsiders to enter during periods when the formation’s power was at its lowest ebb.

However, any cultivator who successfully emerged was required to surrender thirty percent of their harvest to the two factions.

This moderate fee was only possible because Chen Mobai had tempered Luo Yixuan’s temperament; left to her own devices, her personality would have driven her to demand a seventy percent cut.

The Sun Bathing Sea had originally pushed for a fifty-fifty split. However, since their reputation lacked the prestige of the Five Elements Sect, they eventually dropped their requirement to twenty percent to entice more cultivators to use their specific routes.

As they spoke, Luo Yixuan produced a Storage Bag, which held the tributes and gains she had collected while overseeing Wandering Mountain.

Chen Mobai swept his Divine Sense across the contents. He noted an abundance of thousand-year-old herbs, many of which were thought to be extinct in the East Continent, alongside damaged Magic Artifacts, rare minerals, and even various elixirs and cultivation techniques.

The items Luo Yixuan deemed worthy of keeping were certainly high-quality, though Chen Mobai only reached out to examine a single cultivation technique.

"This is quite interesting; it should be added to our sect library," he remarked.

After finishing his reading, Chen Mobai produced several blank Jade Slips. He used the Law of the Five Tones to record a copy of the technique he had just mastered before continuing the conversation.

"Master, the seeds for those medicinal herbs have already been delivered to Senior Sister Zhuo..."

Luo Yixuan answered truthfully as Chen Mobai questioned her further about the botanical resources within the Storage Bag.

As the Five Elements Sect expanded, its internal restructuring had reached a stable phase, necessitating Golden Core cultivators to lead the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.

Zhuo Ming currently held the position of head of the Spirit Plant Department, overseeing every medicinal herb and spiritual plant under the sect’s banner.

"Furthermore, I have dispatched a messenger to bring these two shards of the Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag to my mistress."

Upon hearing Luo Yixuan’s final report, a look of realization dawned on Chen Mobai’s face. It was no wonder Qing Nu had been thinking of this disciple even while refining Heavenly Realm Pure Water; it seemed Luo Yixuan had been diligently fostering a relationship with his wife.

"Very good. Your mistress will surely appreciate such thoughtfulness," Chen Mobai said, feeling quite satisfied.

He had previously worried that Luo Yixuan harbored some resentment toward Qing Nu’s sudden appearance as his mistress. Seeing them on good terms resolved a lingering concern in his heart.

Following this, Chen Mobai turned his attention to guiding Luo Yixuan’s cultivation.

She had reached the Late Stage of Core Formation six years prior. Her progress was respectable—neither exceptionally fast nor slow—given that she had access to unlimited resources as his disciple. However, her progress was tempered by her dual-type Core Formation spiritual power and a Spiritual Root that was merely average by the standards of the elite.

Because of these factors, Luo Yixuan had eventually come to terms with reality, despite her lingering ambitions.

This acceptance deepened after Yin Qingmei successfully achieved "Nascent Soul Formation."

She understood now that to maintain her pace, she would eventually require the assistance of external aids like high-grade elixirs.

Consequently, it was vital to maintain a strong bond with Qing Nu, who was the premier Alchemist of the Five Elements Sect.

Additionally, since Chen Mobai focused on Fire Element techniques, Qing Nu was the better choice for advice regarding her own Sea-control Mysterious Cultivation.

This shift in perspective had cleared a mental bottleneck, allowing Luo Yixuan to achieve her recent breakthrough.

However, as Chen Mobai began his lecture, Luo Yixuan realized her previous assumptions were entirely wrong.

She discovered that Chen Mobai’s grasp of the Sea-control Mysterious Cultivation was actually far more profound than her own.

"Master, your knowledge is truly incredible!"

With a face beaming with admiration, Luo Yixuan looked at Chen Mobai after he had cleared away all her cultivation doubts.

"Focus on your cultivation and build your spiritual power steadily. In roughly a century, you should be ready to attempt ’Nascent Soul Formation,’" Chen Mobai predicted.

Using the Crown of Heaven and Earth to gauge her progress, he provided a timeline that left Luo Yixuan delighted.

In a hundred years, she would still be under three hundred years old—the absolute prime of her life.

Having reconciled with the fact that she was only slightly ahead of her senior brother, she now felt her future was full of promise.

After finishing with his disciple, Chen Mobai turned to his grand-disciple.

Han Zhiling promptly handed over the assignment Chen Mobai had set for her the previous day.

Luo Yixuan caught a glimpse of the work and was stunned to find she could only comprehend a fraction of it. She couldn't help but wonder: were the younger disciples truly becoming this formidable?
