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 directly before him, accompanied by her strikingly handsome and elegant grand-disciple, Han Zhiling.

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

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

Luo Yixuan began her report, detailing the events that had transpired at Wandering Mountain during Chen Mobai’s absence.

As the years passed, the ancient ruins of the Fanhai Sect had suffered several structural failures in its outer formation, creating openings that allowed for entry.

In the East Barbarians region, a multitude of loose cultivators had been clandestinely infiltrating these gaps, successfully retrieving various relics dating back to the Eastern Emperor Court era.

Naturally, survivors were a rarity; the vast majority of those who ventured inside simply vanished without a trace.

Because the ruins sat precisely on the border shared by the Five Elements Sect and Sun Bathing Sea, the site attracted more than just local East Barbarians. Cultivators from East Land and East Yu frequently caught wind of the discoveries and formed parties to reach the Secret Realm via Teleportation Arrays.

To monitor the situation, Sun Bathing Sea had stationed a Golden Core cultivator named Liu Nan Sheng to oversee the region.

The Five Elements Sect and Sun Bathing Sea had reached a silent understanding, guarding the primary access points of the Wandering Mountain ruins—paths that had been paved through the blood and lives of countless predecessors to ensure minimal risk.

The two major factions did not enforce a total monopoly, however; they were prepared to permit outsiders entry during periods when the formation’s power was at its ebb.

The condition was simple: any cultivator lucky enough to emerge alive had to surrender thirty percent of their harvest to the two sects.

This moderate fee was only possible because of Chen Mobai’s influence on Luo Yixuan’s education; left to her own devices, her temperament would have seen her demanding a seventy percent cut.

Sun Bathing Sea had originally pushed for a half-share, but due to their reputation being inferior to that of the Five Elements Sect, they eventually lowered their take to twenty percent. Consequently, many cultivators preferred to use their designated routes.

As they spoke, Luo Yixuan produced a Storage Bag, which contained the tributes and gains she had collected while guarding Wandering Mountain over the years.

Chen Mobai swept his Divine Sense across the contents. He found a bounty of herbs exceeding a thousand years in age—many of which were thought to be extinct in the East Continent—along with damaged Magic Artifacts, rare minerals, and even various elixirs and cultivation techniques.

The items Luo Yixuan chose to keep were obviously of high quality, yet Chen Mobai only reached out to inspect a single cultivation technique.

"Quite fascinating; this can be added to our library."

After examining the text, Chen Mobai produced several blank Jade Slips. He recorded a version of the technique he had refined through his understanding of the Law of the Five Tones before speaking again.

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

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

As the Five Elements Sect expanded, its internal restructuring had reached a stable phase, necessitating the placement of Golden Core cultivators in vital roles across the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions.

Zhuo Ming now served as the head of the Spirit Plant Department, overseeing every medicinal plant and spirit herb within the sect’s jurisdiction.

"Furthermore, I have already dispatched someone to bring these two fragments of the Mysterious Light Soap Carved Flag to my mistress."

When Luo Yixuan mentioned this final detail, a look of realization dawned on Chen Mobai. It was no wonder Qing Nu had been thinking of this disciple even while refining Heavenly Realm Pure Water; it seemed Luo Yixuan had already gone to great lengths to build a rapport with her mistress.

"Very good. With such thoughtfulness, your mistress will surely keep your kindness in mind."

Chen Mobai was genuinely pleased. He had previously worried that Luo Yixuan might harbor resentment toward Qing Nu for her sudden appearance as his mistress. Seeing them in harmony resolved a lingering concern in his heart.

Following this, Chen Mobai began to provide guidance on Luo Yixuan’s cultivation.

She had reached the Late Stage of Core Formation six years prior. Her progress was steady—neither exceptionally fast nor slow—given that as his disciple, she had no shortage of resources. However, she was burdened by possessing two distinct types of Core Formation spiritual power, and her Spiritual Root was somewhat average compared to her peers.

Because of these factors, while Luo Yixuan remained ambitious, she had eventually come to terms with her reality.

This realization became even clearer after Yin Qingmei successfully achieved "Nascent Soul Formation."

She understood that to maintain her pace in the future, she would require the assistance of external aids like elixirs.

Consequently, maintaining a strong bond with Qing Nu, the premier Alchemist of the Five Elements Sect, was essential.

Additionally, since Chen Mobai focused on Fire Element Techniques, Qing Nu was the most suitable person to consult for advice regarding her own Sea-control Mysterious Cultivation.

Once she embraced this perspective, the mental block that had hindered Luo Yixuan vanished, allowing her to successfully break through her bottleneck.

However, this session of guidance from Chen Mobai proved to Luo Yixuan that her previous assumptions were entirely wrong.

She was shocked to find that even in the nuances of the Sea-control Mysterious Cultivation, Chen Mobai’s insight far surpassed her own.

"Master, your wisdom is truly boundless!"

With a face radiating admiration, Luo Yixuan looked at Chen Mobai after all her cultivation doubts had been cleared.

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

Chen Mobai utilized the Crown of Heaven and Earth to calculate her progress and provided a timeline, which left Luo Yixuan delighted.

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

Having previously accepted that she was only marginally better than her senior apprentice brother, Luo Yixuan now felt her future was exceptionally bright.

After finishing with his disciple, Chen Mobai turned his attention to the grand-disciple waiting at the side.

Han Zhiling promptly presented the assignment Chen Mobai had assigned her the previous day for review.

Luo Yixuan stole a glance at the work and was stunned to find she could only comprehend a fraction of it, thinking to herself: are the disciples of this generation really this talented?
