I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2644 - 1211: Holy Land Phenomena

Prior to Jade Shatter True Monarch's ascension, she returned to the Ice-sealed Mausoleum and deposited her Dao Fruit.

Was this an effort to establish a footing for the Ice Sect?

The locals still possess a degree of integrity.

Chen Mobai reflected on this, feeling a flicker of suspicion towards the Shaoyin Dao Fruit Han Xingzi presented.

After all, these Dao Fruits had been meticulously refined by Jade Shatter True Monarch over thousands of years; who could be certain there weren't any hidden manipulations?

However, Chen Mobai soon recalled his Heavenly Blessing. Under Han Xingzi's anxious gaze, he accepted the Jade Box.

Since the Heavenly Blessing issued no warning, it signified that, for him, this transaction posed no inherent risk.

"How many Dao Fruits did you retrieve from the Ice-sealed Mausoleum?" Chen Mobai inquired, continuing his examination of the pale blue Shaoyin Dao Fruit within the Jade Box.

"I dare not conceal anything from Sect Master Chen. Apart from this Shaoyin Dao Fruit, I also brought forth the Taiyin Dao Fruit, originally bequeathed by the Jade Shatter Hall," Han Xingzi replied after a moment's hesitation, confirming that this information was not bound by the Daoist Heart Oath.

"Is Jade Shatter truly so benevolent? Did she perhaps leave behind all the Dao Fruits before her ascension?"

Chen Mobai found this hard to credit.

Given that Jade Shatter had constructed the Ice-sealed Mausoleum yet retained the Three Yin Dao Fruits for herself, it was clear she was a self-serving individual. Even accounting for the Sect's legacy, such magnanimity seemed uncharacteristic.

To this, Han Xingzi could only offer a wry smile and silence, as the question evidently fell under the purview of the Daoist Heart Oath and could not be answered.

By this time, Chen Mobai had concluded his inspection of the Shaoyin Dao Fruit, finding no overt tricks left by Jade Shatter True Monarch. Yet, he suddenly recalled that the Three Yin Scripture acquired from the Illusion Color Spirit Cave did not include a method for refining these Dao Fruits.

He directed a question to Han Xingzi: "Possessing only the Dao Fruit without the accompanying method renders it useless to me."

Han Xingzi nodded and promptly produced a Jade Slip. "Reporting to Sect Master Chen, this contains the method for refining the Shaoyin Dao Fruit. Once you approve the trade and I have verified the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, I shall dispatch a disciple to transmit the mantra required to unlock the Jade Slip."

Han Xingzi's statement caused Chen Mobai to furrow his brow.

Did a trade really need to be this convoluted?

Could they not simply exchange the pill for the method directly?

"Do you perhaps not trust me, Fellow Daoist?" Chen Mobai's tone carried a subtle weight as he spoke. Han Xingzi, however, repeatedly shook his head, his expressions conveying palpable anxiety.

"Please forgive me, Sect Master Chen. Your reputation is renowned across the Eastern Continent, and I certainly trust you. However, for this particular transaction, my trust alone is insufficient..."

Han Xingzi endeavored to imply more with his words.

Chen Mobai, being astute, rapidly grasped his underlying meaning, especially in light of recent occurrences.

Within the Three Veins of the Ice Heaven, Han Xingzi commanded respect, and his present inability to act unilaterally indicated the presence of someone he was compelled to obey.

This could only be Jade Shatter True Monarch.

Despite her ascension, it seemed she had established a means of control over Han Xingzi before her departure.

If Jade Shatter True Monarch had indeed instructed Han Xingzi to negotiate with Chen Mobai, it was plausible that she did not fully trust him.

Was Han Xingzi hinting at this very possibility?

Upon this realization, Chen Mobai swiftly considered another angle.

The Communicating Holy Spirit Pill was instrumental in aiding Divinity Transformation, and Jade Shatter True Monarch must have learned from Han Xingzi about his prior dealings. Consequently, she desired an exchange for a Shaoyin Dao Fruit. However, for someone of her cultivation level, such an elixir would long since have become redundant.

Could it possibly be to assist Han Xingzi in achieving Divinity Transformation?

Upon further reflection, this seemed highly improbable.

Yet, if the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill was not for Han Xingzi's use, then it must be intended for another Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The missing Sublime Spirit Master!

With this thought, Chen Mobai's eyes narrowed. He rose with a subtle gravity and walked towards the door, gazing towards the northwest of the Eastern Continent, in the direction of the Ice-sealed Mausoleum.

"Please bear with me, Sect Master Chen, I have no alternative..."

Han Xingzi, trotting closely behind Chen Mobai, offered a continuous stream of apologies.

"It is said that those who refine Dao Fruits gradually assimilate in Essence Qi and spirit towards the most compatible alignment with the one who originally possessed the Dao Fruit. I wonder which Dao Fruit the Sublime Spirit Daoist ended up refining?"

A sudden inquiry from Chen Mobai brought a flicker of joy to Han Xingzi’s countenance.

Han Xingzi hadn't anticipated that Chen Mobai would discern the most critical point from merely a few of his pronouncements.

"This is uncertain, but the future achievements of my junior sister will undoubtedly eclipse my own." Nevertheless, bound by the Daoist Heart Oath, Han Xingzi was unable to divulge further details and could only echo Chen Mobai's suppositions.

Still, this assertion solidified Chen Mobai's deductions.

The Communicating Holy Spirit Pill was being bartered for the Sublime Spirit Master.

Within the Three Veins of Ice Heaven, even though the Sublime Spirit Master was a powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator, she paled in comparison to Han Xingzi’s Nascent Soul Complete stage, rendering her less significant. The fact that arrangements were being made for her advancement could only stem from Jade Shatter True Monarch.

"If my standing is not respected by the Three Veins of Ice Heaven, then I have no reason to place my trust in any of you either."

Having gained more experience dealing with the locals, Chen Mobai was no longer the gullible individual he once was, harboring fears that once the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill was handed over, he would be left with naught but a Shaoyin Dao Fruit, utterly unrefinable.

After all, it was Han Xingzi he was conducting this exchange with, and for Jade Shatter True Monarch, his demise would likely be inconsequential.
