I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2334 - 1056:

Chen Mobai focused his Divine Sense to survey the vast territory of East Wu.

The scarred landscapes of the past war had vanished, leaving no trace of the scorched earth behind.

Where the explosion of Spirit Veins had once left deep pits, ravines, and jagged canyons, the land was now smooth. Through the tireless labor of the Five Elements Sect Earth Masters under Zhuo Ming’s leadership, East Wu had been transformed into a super flatland, the likes of which the East Continent had never seen.

Neat, square rice paddies stretched out along the borders of Yun Meng Ze.

Grains shimmered with a distinct five-colored radiance as the rice stalks swayed in the breeze. 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 of land single-handedly and with minimal effort.

Beside the vast rice fields stood newly established villages. These were populated by the descendants of East Wu who had returned to their ancestral home after Zhuo Ming successfully restored the land.

The Five Elements Sect had settled these returnees throughout the Twelve Prefectures, which were rebuilt according to Spirit Field production zones, where they assisted in tending to the Spirit Rice.

Their primary responsibility was constant observation.

They were instructed to report any irregularities in the Spirit Rice through the chain of command immediately, ensuring the Five Elements Sect remained fully informed of the crop's condition.

Following the directives of Chen Mobai, King Zhou Wangshen was genuinely committed to the development of East Wu and eager to prove his capabilities. To this end, he had stationed several core disciples of the Five Elements Sect within the twelve newly established counties.

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

With each disciple managing a minimum of one hundred acres of Spirit Fields, any complications that arose would be traced back to them as their personal responsibility.

A thorough investigation would be launched if the harvest yield of the Spirit Rice proved insufficient.

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

Chen Mobai had instituted a system of annual minor assessments and ten-year large assessments long ago.

Specific assessment standards were applied to every level of disciple across various fields, including farming, mining, herb gathering, beast keeping, demon hunting, treasure quests, garrison duties, law enforcement, alchemy, talisman making, formation tools, and the teaching of cultivation techniques.

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

Excellent performance resulted in rewards, while poor performance led to penalties, ranging from simple warnings to the deduction of Spirit Stones or more severe consequences.

Because Yun Meng Ze separated East Wu from the Eastern Wilderness, King Zhou Wangshen had effectively established a miniature version of the Five Elements Sect, keeping all assessment powers under his own authority.

Chen Mobai provided the backing required for this arrangement.

To supply rewards for these assessments, E Yun allocated one-tenth of the Five Elements Sect’s total production of Foundation Establishment Trithings, Magic Artifacts, and Talismans to this region.

Driven by these incentives, many disciples who found it difficult to compete at the Eastern Wilderness headquarters were eager to seek their fortunes in East Wu.

There were already documented cases of disciples who had successfully secured Foundation Establishment Trithings by excelling in their task assessments here.

By wielding the power of rewards and punishments, King Zhou Wangshen governed the sect disciples in East Wu with great efficiency. Nevertheless, he remained mindful that his ultimate goal was to satisfy Chen Mobai.

Consequently, he frequently patrolled the various regions of East Wu in person, occasionally intervening to resolve problems that ordinary Five Elements Sect disciples could not handle.

Due to the immense scale of East Wu’s territory, the number of Five Elements Sect disciples willing to endure the hardships here remained small.

To compensate, King Zhou Wangshen recruited many loose cultivators and former cultivator families from East Wu, hoping to use them to reclaim and govern the regions that remained desolate.

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

They had suffered through the war to earn the sympathy of the Five Elements Sect and had been incorporated as honored residents of the Eastern Wilderness; they had no desire to take a step backward.

Only those rogue cultivators with shady pasts or loose cultivators who were truly desperate chose to come back.

With a mere thought, Chen Mobai used teleportation to appear at the edge of a Spirit Field that was ready for harvest.

The reconstruction of East Wu had necessitated the reorganization of the Large Formation as a primary task.

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

This allowed Chen Mobai to travel here instantly using Void Teleportation.

A small village sat not far from the Spirit Field, with smoke from cooking fires curling into the air as sunset approached. In the fields, the rice stalks shimmered with five-colored light as they swayed in the wind. Farmers, drenched in sweat, were busy weeding, their faces lit with the joy of an impending harvest.

Even though the Five Elements Sect owned these Spirit Fields, the farmers stood to receive significant rewards if the harvest was successful.

Items such as fabrics, grains, ironware, meat, vegetable seeds, and even pre-fabricated wooden houses were immensely valuable to them.

The people of East Wu who had returned were experiencing a quality of life never seen before under the governance of the Five Elements Sect.

Chen Mobai nodded quietly at the sight, recognizing the hard work King Zhou Wangshen had put into rebuilding East Wu.

Next, he traveled to a different area of East Wu dedicated to forestry production.

In accordance with his instructions, the Five Elements Sect had planted various Spirit Plants and Spirit Woods in any area where Spirit Fields could not be developed due to a lack of manpower. Zhuo Ming had redirected water from Yun Meng Ze to flow through these forests, providing the necessary nourishment for the plantations.
