I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2488 - 1111: Innate Treasure - Primordial Water Control Banner (Part 2)

The price had been set straightforwardly right from the beginning, yet despite the steep cost of three million Dao Coins, it failed to quell the fervor of Golden Core Cultivators toward the Coagulation Infant Pill.

Rumors circulated that certain Golden Core Cultivators even went so far as to pawn their Lifespan Artifacts in order to acquire a demonic beast's corpse, solely to trade it for just one pill.

Due to this demand, the Dao Morale Sect found itself out of stock on Coagulation Infant Pills, with multiple batches completely depleted.

Dustless True Monarch was nearby at the time, so he took it upon himself to personally refine more of them.

The pair bid their goodbyes to Da Kong True Monarch before heading back to East Spirit Mountain.

Chen Mobai's courtyard remained reserved just for him, since Han Zhiling had been living there and maintained it spotless and orderly.

Upon spotting Chen Mobai's arrival, Han Zhiling lit up with joy and hurried to offer her respects.

"Inform Brother Mo and the others to come over."

Chen Mobai gave a faint smile as he took a seat in the courtyard. Before long, after getting Han Zhiling's summons, Mo Douguang and the rest arrived at East Spirit Mountain.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

With Mo Douguang, Yin Qingmei, Zhou Wangshen, and the others gathered in front of him, Chen Mobai felt a surge of satisfaction and gestured for all to take their seats.

"Master, congratulations on your Divinity Transformation."

Luo Yixuan was the first to step forward toward Chen Mobai, her expression brimming with uncontainable thrill.

During Chen Mobai's breakthrough to Divinity Transformation, the Dongling Domain was busy with expansion efforts under the Dao Morale Sect's directives, so they had dispatched only Yin Qingmei as their envoy. This marked her initial encounter with Chen Mobai post-transformation.

"You've been stationed here for a good while now; with the expansion wrapped up, you can head back to the Eastern Wilderness alongside me."

Chen Mobai had been longing for this disciple too, and since he'd refined the Heavenly Realm Pure Water with some left over, it would be plenty to upgrade Luo Yixuan's Spiritual Root to a Heavenly Water Spirit Root.

Luo Yixuan beamed with delight at the news that she could return with Chen Mobai.

"Junior Brother, who will stay behind to watch over things here?"

Mo Douguang settled onto a cushion next to Chen Mobai and straightaway raised the issue weighing most on his mind.

Over the years, he'd guided the Five Elements Sect's disciples in claiming the Five Elements Sect's territory within the Dongling Domain, forging a strong connection, and he yearned to pass it to a capable successor.

"Senior Brother, you're aware our sect lacks enough hands at the moment; you might have to stick it out a little longer..."

Chen Mobai replied with a helpless grin, though Mo Douguang showed no reluctance, agreeing with a nod right away.

"I can handle the oversight here, but I'm no good at handling daily operations or administration; someone like Junior Nephew Zhou is essential for that."

Mo Douguang indicated Zhou Wangshen, and Chen Mobai caught his drift immediately, deciding on the spot that Zhou Wangshen should remain too.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Zhou Wangshen wouldn't dream of opposing Chen Mobai's command, so he bowed his head in deep reverence.

"Once Junior Nephew Zhou forms his Nascent Soul, Senior Brother Mo, you can come back then."

Chen Mobai always knew how to inspire those around him, hence his encouraging words.

A spark of eagerness flickered in Zhou Wangshen at those words.

Given his sharp mind, he quickly grasped what Chen Mobai meant: upon reaching Perfect Core Formation, the sect would supply him with the necessary resources for Nascent Soul Formation.

With that in mind, Zhou Wangshen resolved to develop the Dongling Domain's Five Elements branch even stronger. Should it eclipse the Eastern Wilderness headquarters, it would demonstrate his talents exceeding E Yun's.

"The same goes for the other disciples; anyone remaining in the Dongling Domain to establish the branch will, upon achieving Perfect Core Formation, receive top priority for Nascent Soul Formation resources from the sect."

Noticing the longing looks on Ban Zhaodan, Green Pearl, and the others, Chen Mobai issued a bold assurance.

This was especially true now that the Nine Heavens Morality Sect had delivered a massive shipment of herbs. Once Qing Nu returned, multiple batches of Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine could be produced.

At present, for any Five Elements Sect Golden Core cultivator who attained perfection, Chen Mobai was already set on offering resources without strings attached, and this gave him the ideal justification.

"I am willing to stay!"

Ban Zhaodan declared it instantly, without a second thought.

All in the Five Elements Sect recognized that the Sect Master's promises were ironclad.

Green Pearl paused for a heartbeat after speaking up, then nodded in agreement after Ban Zhaodan. She yearned to go back, missing Zhou Ye dearly, yet she realized the immense value of this chance.

When Zhou Ye had chased an Infant-Feeding Elixir before, he'd toiled endlessly for the Five Elements Sect to gain Chen Mobai's approval.

These days, all she had to do was advance to Perfect Core Formation right here in the Dongling Domain to claim it outright—and even if Zhou Ye learned of it, he'd undoubtedly urge her to remain.

Even Luo Yixuan and Han Zhiling, standing behind Chen Mobai, displayed hints of desire.

Still, following a brief internal struggle, they both chose to return to the Eastern Wilderness.

They were confident that reaching the required cultivation stage would bring them the same prospects.

"Excellent, that's splendid; the sect will never forget your dedication. Soon, I'll ask my wife to set up a branch of Danxia Pavilion here, giving you all the utmost buying rights."

Chen Mobai was thrilled to find so many ready to commit, and considering that the local resources might fall short compared to the Eastern Wilderness, he opted to plant the vital Danxia Pavilion in this place.

That announcement erased any lingering hesitations from Ban Zhaodan and the group.

"Junior Nephew Zhou, you'll serve as the sect leader for the Dongling Branch; I place my trust in you for this."

Before the assembled crowd, Chen Mobai named Zhou Wangshen as sect leader, then casually gathered materials infused with Five Elements essence and forged them using Stat Fire into a Five-Colored Seal.

This Five-Colored Seal had the power to draw in Five Element Spiritual Energy for cultivation purposes, classified as a Fourth Rank Superior Grade item. By weaving in a thread of his Primordial True Qi, it could even let gifted cultivators glimpse Primordial Mysteries through it.

"Call it East Tomb, representing the leadership of this branch sect."

Chen Mobai handed the seal over to Zhou Wangshen, who accepted it reverently with both hands.

Upon grasping the seal, Zhou Wangshen reflected that E Yun remained merely the Acting Sect Leader back in the Eastern Wilderness, while he now held the real title—did this mean he'd triumphed?

But in victory, Zhou Wangshen encountered an unexpected hollowness.

It lacked the anticipated rush of triumph.

He realized E Yun, despite being Acting Sect Leader, wielded genuine authority and even garnered greater favor from Chen Mobai.

To truly eclipse E Yun in the Sect Master's view, he had to break through to Nascent Soul first.

Fueled by this realization, Zhou Wangshen rekindled his competitive drive, vowing to outdo E Yun via a different route.

Chen Mobai delegated the upcoming tasks to Zhou Wangshen, while he himself, together with Mo Douguang and Yin Qingmei, sought out a Cultivation Room to delve into Dao Fruits.

"The sect possesses such profound foundations!"

Mo Douguang and Yin Qingmei were left speechless in awe as they listened, their faces showing a whirlwind of shocked reactions.

They might have been clueless about Dao Fruits in the past, but after years of interactions with Dongling Domain cultivators and the great sects of the East Continent—including even some Nascent Souls from Holy Lands—they'd come to understand these as the key legacies for nurturing successive Divinity Transformation experts.

Though the Five Elements Sect was hailed as a Holy Land in the East Continent thanks to Chen Mobai's Divinity Transformation, they recognized its roots were still thin, likely vying only for Yi Yuan Dao Palace's Primordial Dao Fruits.

Still, neither harbored designs on those Primordial Dao Fruits, viewing them as suited solely for Chen Mobai.

But now, Chen Mobai revealed he possessed two Dao Fruits ideally matched to their attributes—Metal and Wood—leaving them in rapturous astonishment.

"These came from Ancestor Yi Yuan's Secret Realm; the Altar of State unlocked the Five Element Mysteries thanks to these very Dao Fruits. After reaching my current heights, I decided it wiser to foster seeds for Divinity Transformation. Your valiant efforts in the sect's battles merit this reward."

With those words, Chen Mobai drew forth the Metal and Wood Dao Fruits from the Primordial Bead, shaping them into swirling orbs of gold and green that settled above the heads of the pair before him.

"Prior to my departure, I'll guide Senior Brother Mo in refining the Metal Dao Fruit first; Qingmei, you'll come back with me to the Eastern Wilderness, and I'll instruct you step by step there..."

Yin Qingmei froze mid-reach for the Wood Dao Fruit upon hearing Chen Mobai, her emotions surging with overwhelming elation.

"Junior Brother, thank you!"

Mo Douguang uttered this before sending his Nascent Soul outward, then activated the Yi Yuan Seal that Chen Mobai had imparted, channeling his True Qi to embrace the Dao Fruit.
