I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2510 - 1126: A Person of Integrity
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
With Chen Mobai's cultivation realm, the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern could still achieve a rank upgrade even lacking Rank-6 materials, perhaps only delaying things a little.
However, receiving Ao Yuxia's present this time could create a link that remains unbreakable forever.
Although it might be passed on to disciples and the sect, Chen Mobai desires that neither Zhuo Ming nor Jiang Zongheng endures this heavy responsibility.
The Purple-Gold Fire Copper is probably the item Zhang Pankong referred to, yet Ao Yuxia waited until now to present it, revealing an absence of true intent from the beginning; therefore, limiting contacts seems preferable.
Chen Mobai's statement left all those gathered in stunned silence.
Rank-6 spirit materials stand as the pinnacle in the Tianhe Realm; even a revered site like the Dao Morale Sect keeps just a handful in its vaults.
Additionally, the Five Elements Sect's interest in acquiring this material has become widely acknowledged across the lands.
Given the context, Chen Mobai's choice to decline astonished everyone to the core.
They failed to consider those higher 'connections,' for Deity Transformation True Monarchs in the Tianhe Realm frequently impose such inescapable obligations upon their disciples and sects.
"Mr. Chen, your character is truly noble."
Ao Yuxia never imagined someone turning down a Rank-6 spirit material, so she forced a smile while withdrawing the Jade Box.
As Chen Mobai rejected the offering, advancing the discussion proved arduous.
Her first plan involved offering this as a gift to request Yuwen Baozhi's stay beside Chen Mobai for learning the Artifact Refining Technique, forming a practical master-disciple tie even without the formal label.
Furthermore, as time passed, Yuwen Baozhi's aptitude in artifact refining might eventually captivate Chen Mobai, securing his place as a disciple of the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor. She could then reveal her actual motives for the visit in private with additional treasures.
Should events unfold without hitches, wedding the young Yellow Dragon Girl would follow smoothly.
But the scheme faced an obstacle right at the initial phase.
Ao Yuxia had never before encountered a figure as principled as Chen Mobai.
Silence descended over the gathering, and Dustless True Monarch swiftly shifted the topic lightly: "Little friend Chen, this tea of yours is excellent."
"If the senior likes it, take a package when you leave."
Chen Mobai answered with a grin, speaking of the Enlightenment Tea, which has gained fame among the East Continent's advanced cultivators. Even though its benefits apply solely to the opening sips of each brew, it serves as an unparalleled treasure for every cultivator.
In the East Continent's Holy Lands, countless Nascent Soul cultivators have unraveled enduring riddles after a single sip of Enlightenment Tea, with some surging past their bottlenecks, others deeply understanding cultivation arts, and one from the Dao Morale Sect even forging a Rank-5 talisman, rising to become a Fifth Rank Talisman Maker.
Because of this, despite being merely Rank-4, Enlightenment Tea holds status as one of the two immortal teas, matched only by the Rank-5 Longevity Eyebrow.
Numerous Nascent Soul cultivators amass supplies of it, planning to consume during their breakthroughs to higher realms.
Boasting just one plant of Enlightenment Tea with restricted yearly harvest, sect Nascent Soul cultivators who've sampled it vie intensely to stockpile, realizing they can bequeath it to their disciples if not needed personally.
Myriad cultivators at flawless Core Formation hover near the brink of Nascent Soul breakthrough; this elixir could propel them onward, infusing the sect with additional Nascent Souls and guaranteeing future generations.
Yuwen Baozhi savored it for the first time, but having learned from Zhang Pankong, he arrived equipped. Upon swallowing the tea, he sealed his eyes shut, reflecting on the various uncertainties amassed from earlier witnessing Chen Mobai's artifact refining process.
Besides him, the Red Garment Sage and the others mirrored his actions.
Following a single cup of tea, nearly everyone there shut their eyes for contemplation.
Observing this, Chen Mobai offered a faint smile, maintaining his conversation with Dustless True Monarch. Capitalizing on Ao Yuxia's earlier reference to the Dragon Pulse, he expanded: "Senior, more than a century of rule has rendered the Eastern Wilderness thriving and peaceful, sparking a booming population, which has unwittingly developed the subterranean veins under the royal capital into a Dragon Pulse. Of late, Yuxia True Monarch suggested that spiritual essence is poised to manifest..."
Dustless True Monarch's face turned solemn at these words. He rose to his feet, directing his gaze toward the Eastern Wilderness Great Zhao Dynasty's royal capital, and despite not carrying the Xuanji Instrument of heaven and earth, his Qi Observation Skill ranked supreme. By scrutinizing and computing, he approximately assessed the existing condition of the Eastern Wilderness Dragon Pulse.
"Such a lively fresh Dragon Pulse, encompassing not just the Eastern Wilderness, as the Qi of the Human Path from East Wu and East Barbarians steadily converges here too, vaguely echoing the ancient Eastern Emperor Court."
Dustless True Monarch's comment swiftly transformed the countenances of all cultivators assembled.
Most who reach the Nascent Soul Realm are aware of the tyrannical era of the former Eastern Emperor Court.
Even esteemed locations like the Dao Morale Sect and Nine Heavens Morality Sect compelled their heads to pledge fealty as subjects in the Eastern Emperor Court to affirm their standings."
Having grown used to the current liberties, a slide back into an age of iron-fisted rule would undoubtedly provoke resistance.
"This circumstance bears some of my responsibility. At first, I believed a centralized secular authority under my sect's oversight would simplify administration, thus I advocated for it. Yet unexpectedly, afterward, my Five Elements Sect's domain swelled enormously, and with much of my days devoted to secluded cultivation, I overlooked the Dragon Pulse's development, permitting it to swell to its present magnitude."
