I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2630: 1202: Pricing the Dao Fruit

Memories of his earlier interactions with Han Xingzi and Luo Ying Shangren, coupled with the latest developments, suddenly sparked a notion in Chen Mobai's thoughts.

Perhaps they intend to trade the Dao Fruit for Deity Transformation Pills?

Chen Mobai's daughter stands to gain immensely from the Ice lineage's Three Yin Dao Fruit, which could pave her way to Spirit Transformation or even Cultivating Void.

Previously, he had offered Deity Transformation Pills in exchange, yet despite Han Xingzi's temptation, the latter held back and turned it down.

Back then, Han Xingzi probably dismissed it as a jest from Chen Mobai. Besides, on East Continent, the Dao Morale Sect's Communicating Holy Spirit Pill held the sole prestige, and he was skeptical that Chen Mobai would trade away his own shot at deity transformation.

Yet now, news of Xing Ji's deal with Dao Morale Sect for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill has circulated widely, so Han Xingzi must know that Five Elements Sect obtained one too.

“Invite the two fellow Daoists to come over for a talk.”

Having pieced it together, Chen Mobai instructed E Yun standing before him, who nodded at once.

“Greetings, Sect Master Chen!”

Before long, Han Xingzi and Luo Ying Shangren entered Northern Abyss City's hall, bowing respectfully to Chen Mobai.

“Fellow Daoists, no need for such formality—please take a seat. Serve the tea.”

Chen Mobai gestured to the chairs next to him, as Gu Yan poured the prepared Purple Mist Spirit Tea for them.

“To get straight to the point, my junior sister and I visited your sect today after hearing Sect Master Chen possesses an additional Communicating Holy Spirit Pill. Might you be open to selling it?”

Evidently, Han Xingzi had studied Chen Mobai's temperament well, diving right into the matter upon arrival, exactly as Chen Mobai anticipated.

“Fellow Daoist jests. One can never have too many Deity Transformation Pills. They might not be required now, but our sect's disciples will surely need them in a century.”

Chen Mobai replied smilingly, aware that putting his Communicating Holy Spirit Pill up for sale would draw Holy Lands from the Five Continents and Four Seas, letting him set any price he desired.

Han Xingzi managed a bitter smile at Chen Mobai's words.

Still, since they had made the trip, they had to try their utmost—the renowned deity transformation True Monarch before them was known for honor and straightforwardness, not one to take offense at persistence.

“Sect Master Chen, back in Dongling Domain, you once said Dao Fruits could be traded for Deity Transformation Pills. Does that proposal still stand?”

Chen Mobai halted mid-sip upon Han Xingzi's question, narrowing his eyes at the pair ahead.

Expectancy filled Han Xingzi's gaze, whereas Luo Ying Shangren hung her head, appearing downcast.

By adopting their viewpoint, Chen Mobai grasped Han Xingzi's bargaining position.

Chen Mobai: “Would the fellow Daoist trade using the Taiyin Dao Fruit?”

Han Xingzi: “I beg your pardon, Sect Master Chen. It forms the core of my cultivation path and cannot be relinquished. That said, beyond the Taiyin Dao Fruit, our Three Veins of Ice Heaven possess Mysterious Yin and Shaoyin Dao Fruits as well. Might Sect Master Chen consider them?”

Just as expected.

Chen Mobai inwardly nodded in approval upon hearing Han Xingzi's response.

From the locals' standpoint, prioritizing the nurturing of a deity transformation True Monarch was essential, offering a chance to rebuild the Holy Land and reclaim its former splendor.

Moreover, Han Xingzi's realm matched or exceeded that of Hong Yun and Xing Ji; with his Taiyin Dao Fruit and a Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, his odds of deity transformation would outshine theirs.

Nevertheless, Chen Mobai remained unconvinced that Han Xingzi could succeed in deity transformation even with the pill, lacking the technique to truly refine the Taiyin Dao Fruit and instead treating it merely as a Magic Artifact to channel its power.

But that mattered little to Chen Mobai, for his true aim was the Three Yin Dao Fruits along with the Ice lineage's inherited legacy.

“What I stated before holds true, of course.”

Han Xingzi's spirits soared at Chen Mobai's affirmation.

His reputation for keeping promises was well-established on East Continent.

Han Xingzi: “Sect Master Chen, are you seeking the Mysterious Yin Dao Fruit or the Shaoyin Dao Fruit?”

Chen Mobai: “In addition to the Dao Fruits, I require every cultivation method and scripture from your Ice lineage inheritance, encompassing the Spirit Transformation and Void Refining Ascension sections.”

Without the accompanying techniques, a Dao Fruit proves utterly worthless.

Chen Mobai's demand brought a difficult expression to Han Xingzi's face.

“To report to Sect Master Chen, it's not unwillingness on our part, yet the two veins under us have only fragmentary portions of the Three Yin Scripture for Spirit Transformation, missing the Cultivating Void heritage entirely.”

Upon hearing these words, Chen Mobai remembered that Han Xingzi lacked even the technique to refine the Taiyin Dao Fruit, confirming the sincerity in his claim.

Yet, securing the Spirit Transformation heritage would be sufficient.

He figured that once his daughter reached the Spirit Transformation Stage through cultivation, he would have gathered ample Dao merits to acquire superior cultivation techniques and heritages from the Portal.

Chen Mobai nodded in agreement and granted Han Xingzi leeway in selecting the trade items, “I’d accept either Dao Fruit for the exchange.”

As a member of the Sect of Realms, Chen Mobai showed no favoritism, since both Shaoyin and Mysterious Yin Dao Fruits could forge the path to deity transformation for his daughter.

Paired with fitting cultivation techniques and her Pure Yin Body, her future prospects would never disgrace his and Bai Guang’s esteemed reputations.

“Um… please forgive me, Sect Master Chen. We haven’t taken out the two Dao Fruits yet.”

Han Xingzi replied, a touch of embarrassment coloring his voice.
