I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2365: 1068

Chen Mobai accepted the missive from Han Zhiling. It was the response from Mu Youyi, specifying that their meeting would take place within the walls of Dongling Immortal City at a designated time.

Mu Youyi clearly believed that despite their previous encounters in the East Land, their lack of familiarity bred mutual suspicion. Consequently, he assumed Chen Mobai would reject any invitation to a location that wasn't inherently secure.

Upon reviewing the contents, a trace of disappointment flickered through Chen Mobai.

He had secretly hoped Mu Youyi would suggest a rendezvous outside the city limits. Such a scenario would have allowed him to play along, feigning a lapse in vigilance to bait the other party into making a move.

As the primary base for the pioneering expedition and the projected heart of the Eastern Continent’s Seventh Domain, Dongling Immortal City had been meticulously fortified by the Dao Morale Sect. Its safety was beyond reproach.

Originally, East Spirit Mountain boasted a fourth rank superior grade Spirit Vein. Through unknown methods and a staggering expenditure of resources, the Dao Morale Sect had elevated it to a fifth rank lower grade level. They had even reinforced the site with a fifth rank “Heavenly Profound Extreme Array.”

By choosing this venue, Mu Youyi intended to put Chen Mobai’s mind at ease.

The various powers involved in the pioneer effort were so invested that even Nascent Soul Cultivators were buying up estates and cave dwellings within the city. Golden Core Cultivators who couldn't afford a full courtyard were still desperate to secure at least a modest house.

The Dao Morale Sect had exploited this demand, raking in tens of millions of Spirit Stones before the expedition had even officially commenced.

Xuan De had mentioned that these tactics were directly modeled after Northern Abyss City.

With the Five Elements Sect flourishing at the Eastern Continent Frontier, the exorbitant property values in Northern Abyss City—which shocked even Nascent Soul Cultivators—had naturally caught the attention of the Holy Land.

The secret to the Eastern Wilderness’s real estate success was the absolute security guaranteed by the Five Elements Sect.

Once the Dao Morale Sect grasped this concept, they implemented it at Dongling Immortal City, yielding exceptionally successful results.

They had even adopted the strategy of tiered Spiritual Energy distribution.

The highest concentration of Spiritual Energy, reaching the fifth rank, was reserved for the city center. While the density faded toward the outskirts, even the most remote areas maintained a third rank superior grade level.

In a gesture of gratitude toward the major sects supporting the call to pioneer, the Dao Morale Sect gifted courtyards with fourth rank superior grade Spiritual Energy to organizations like Chen Mobai’s that possessed Nascent Soul Cultivators.

This policy ensured that only those with immense wealth or profound cultivation could truly settle within Dongling Immortal City.

Reflecting on this, Chen Mobai felt as though he had inadvertently introduced a transformative force into the real estate market of the Tianhe Realm.

Located at the heart of Dongling Immortal City was the Qian Yuan Building.

This was the same venue where the Sect Masters of Shenxi and the other Three Great Sacred Lands had previously convened with Chen Mobai to establish the pioneering protocols. When Chen Mobai arrived, he found that Mu Youyi was already waiting.

Accompanied by Han Zhiling and the Little Yellow Dragon Girl, he approached the reserved chamber, pushed open the door, and stepped inside.

“Sect Master Chen, it has been a long time.”

Seated near the window, Mu Youyi rose to his feet with a welcoming smile as Chen Mobai entered.

“Greetings, Elder Mu. Might I ask for the identities of your companions?”

Chen Mobai acknowledged the two unfamiliar cultivators flanking Mu Youyi and inquired politely after returning the greeting.

“This is my pupil, Ao Shizheng, the current Sect Master of the Beast Commanding Sect. Beside him is Su Wuming, an old friend from my travels in the West Continent. He came to test his fortune upon hearing that the Dao Morale Sect would provide the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill during this expedition.”

As Mu Youyi introduced them, Chen Mobai paid little heed to Ao Shizheng. His attention was fixed on Su Wuming, his expression betraying a hint of surprise.

Having lived in the Tianhe Realm for many years, he had developed the habit of using Echoes in the Void to scan strangers upon meeting them.

Yet, under the scrutiny of his fifth rank Echoes in the Void, this Su Wuming remained entirely silent to his senses.

The man felt like a lifeless stone or a barren, unremarkable mountain.

This suggested two likely scenarios.

First, the individual was practicing a fifth rank technique specifically designed to nullify Echoes in the Void.

Second, he possessed a unique artifact capable of masking his Cultivation level.

A third possibility crossed Chen Mobai’s mind—that Su Wuming was a God-Transcending cultivator whose power surpassed his own.

However, he quickly discarded that theory.

Had he been facing a God-Transcending cultivator, his Heavenly Blessing would have screamed with a warning of extreme peril the moment he entered the room.

“Su Wuming greets you, Sect Master Chen!”

Noticing the scrutiny, Su Wuming turned and cupped his fists with a grin. His eyes, however, immediately shifted past Chen Mobai to settle on the Little Yellow Dragon Girl.

Chen Mobai saw the blatant, undisguised avarice shimmering in the man's gaze.

“Friend, your name sounds like a bit of a pseudonym.”

Chen Mobai remarked with a light, jesting tone.

It was an obvious attempt at evasion; Chen Mobai suspected that the man’s true name would be instantly recognizable.

“Sect Master Chen’s fame reaches even the West Continent; your reputation is well known.”

“To be frank, Elder Mu and I are both descendants of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, a prominent power within the Central State Holy Land. The Yellow Dragon stands as the premier True Spirit on the Myriad Spirits Chart. If she were presented to the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, I am certain she could be traded for a Heavenly Spirit Pill without difficulty.”

“I can see that Sect Master Chen’s Cultivation is nearing the threshold of Divinity Transformation. While it is uncertain how many Sacred Spirit Pills will be produced, if you are willing to entrust the Yellow Dragon to me so I may take her to Central State, I can guarantee you one Heavenly Spirit Pill in advance.”

After inspecting the Little Yellow Dragon Girl and confirming her Innate True Spirit Bloodline, Su Wuming abandoned all pretenses and spoke directly to Chen Mobai about his terms.
