I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2717 - 1251: Kunpeng True Spirit

Even though Chen Mobai currently possessed no new demon-contaminated planets to offer, he found himself frequently perusing the Demon Market Platform without any specific objective.

He discovered that, ever since departing from Earth Element Star, this particular industry presented the most straightforward avenue for accumulating Dao Merits.

Once logged in, Chen Mobai adeptly managed multiple tasks, simultaneously browsing recent postings and attending to his private messages.

The majority of these messages originated from hunters seeking complimentary access to demon-contaminated planets, while a smaller portion came from intelligence brokers. Despite facing a public ban from major intelligence merchants due to his rule-breaking practice of providing free services, a segment of enterprising individuals still sought to forge collaborations with him.

Given that Chen Mobai was already offering his services without charge, he reasoned it would be more beneficial to provide them directly to these eager parties. In exchange for their verification of the information, they were even willing to share portions of the Dao Merits they subsequently earned.

This readiness to share was not exclusive to the intelligence brokers; the hunters also demonstrated a similar inclination.

For them, the intelligence was essentially free, and the prospective profit sharing was directly tied to their success in earning Dao Merits. As long as Chen Mobai supplied them with the coordinates to demon-contaminated planets, it represented a guaranteed profitable venture.

Having previously undertaken business-related studies at the Repairing Heaven Institute, Chen Mobai possessed a keen understanding of this economic principle.

He recognized that, under certain circumstances and with effective management, even freely provided offerings could ultimately yield substantial returns.

As he concluded his review of his private messages, Chen Mobai's attention was suddenly drawn to a message from "Golden Needle Master," the very hunter who had uploaded the compelling video showcasing the siege of the Three-eyed King.

She conveyed her sincere gratitude to Chen Mobai and expressed a desire to offer a portion of Purple Cloud Coins as compensation for the valuable intelligence provided.

Although the most significant advantage of capturing the Three-eyed King had been claimed by two other hunters, she had nonetheless managed to successfully divest half of the remaining Three Eyed Tribe members and had refined a substantial quantity of valuable Sixth Rank essence from the fragmented planet, thereby securing a notable amount of Dao Merit.

Despite Chen Mobai's explicit statement that his services were free, she experienced a degree of lingering guilt.

However, due to the minimum transaction requirement of Dao Merits for account transfers on the Portal, she inquired about Chen Mobai's Cosmic Bank account details to facilitate a transfer of one hundred thousand Purple Cloud Coins.

Naturally, Chen Mobai was unwilling to divulge his actual identity for such a modest sum, and he directly conveyed his refusal within their private message exchange.

Unexpectedly, Golden Needle Master happened to be online at that moment, and she expressed admiration for Chen Mobai's integrity and his steadfast adherence to his word regarding the provision of free services.

As their conversation progressed, Chen Mobai clicked on her avatar, observing that, apart from her displayed name and gender, all other personal information was conspicuously hidden.

"Isn't this a bit excessively cautious?"

Chen Mobai mused to himself, his gaze then settling upon a distinctive icon resembling a storefront adjacent to her avatar. A click on this icon revealed a linked store operating on an external platform connected to the Portal.

"She's a seller?"

To his surprise, Chen Mobai proceeded to examine the products offered in the shop, noting a considerable selection of elixirs and raw materials categorized as Rank-5 and Rank-6. Despite appearing to be a modest establishment, the store's sales volume was remarkably high, indicating a well-regarded reputation.

Given the extensive breadth of the product catalog, Chen Mobai opted to filter the items by price, arranging them from highest to lowest.

The most expensive elixir immediately appeared at the top of the list, causing Chen Mobai's eyes to widen in sheer astonishment.

[Xuanxu Pill, a Sixth Rank elixir, available for reservation. A deposit of one Dao Merit is required. Please consult customer service for further details.]

If Chen Mobai's memory served him correctly, this specific Xuanxu Pill was an exclusive product of the Xuanhu Dojo. Its exceptionally high demand meant that it was rarely, if ever, available at the Xuanhu Flagship Store accessible through the Portal; only during infrequent centennial store anniversaries were a select few released to their top ten most loyal patrons.

Yet, here was a shop named Golden Needle Pavilion, boldly claiming the ability to reserve Xuanxu Pills!

"Could this possibly be true?"

Overwhelmed by doubt, Chen Mobai resolved to seek clarification directly from the individual involved in this intriguing claim.

[To be perfectly candid, my name is Song Qingyi, hailing from the Xuanyang Star System. I am an unregistered disciple under Xuanhu Daojun, a recognized figure within the Xuanhu Four Stars. Should the production of Xuanxu Pills exceed the anticipated demand, securing a few additional units would not present any significant difficulty...]

Golden Needle Master, revealing her true identity, further explained that her decision to undertake the Three Eyed Tribe task stemmed from its proximity to her operational territory.

Having derived significant benefits and earned a substantial Dao Merit from the endeavor, she was now willing to address Chen Mobai's queries with utmost seriousness.

She elaborated that whenever Xuanxu Pills were successfully refined, a portion was allocated for export to other dojo arenas, with the remainder being distributed among the Nascent Soul Cultivators within the Xuanhu Dojo itself.

Each star system received an allocation based on established relationships and demonstrated strength.

Song Qingyi also acknowledged having several disciples at the Divinity Transformation stage, with only one specifically requiring the Xuanxu Pill to attain Perfection. Consequently, any surplus pills would be of no use to her, prompting her decision to list them for sale in her online shop.

She considered the profits derived from Dao Merits to be the most ideal outcome; however, should these items fail to sell, she possessed alternative avenues to exchange the resources with other Divinity Transformation factions under her command.

"They might not sell?" Chen Mobai voiced his perplexity, seeking further explanation.

Most proprietors of Gate of Taixu branches are Nascent Soul Cultivators, individuals who possess no need for Xuanxu Pills. The scarce Divinity Transformation cultivators present typically boast formidable backgrounds, often direct disciples or descendants of Daoist Monarchs capable of purchasing Xuanxu Pills directly from Xuanhu Dojo at their established price.

Song Qingyi, though somewhat bewildered by Chen Mobai’s inquiry, offered her explanation with diligence.

Chen Mobai found his understanding clarified by her words.

In theory, her assessment held true.

Of course, there were unique cases, such as himself.

Chen Mobai: [What is the price of your Xuanxu Pills then?]

Song Qingyi: [The base price is 8 Dao Merits, but the going rate on the market has risen to 10 Dao Merits. If you truly require one, I can procure it for you at a marginal loss, costing just 9 Dao Merits.]

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai briefly reviewed his account balance and responded with uncertainty: [I will think about it.]

Song Qingyi: [Certainly, I shall make a note of it. Once the Xuanxu Pills are in my possession, I will check if you are still interested.]

Having secured an advantageous position with the Three Eyed Tribe, Song Qingyi waived the requirement for Chen Mobai to pay a one Dao Merit deposit.

Following their discussion, Chen Mobai was left with a single, driving objective: to accumulate Dao Merits.

He also inquired about the estimated arrival time of the Xuanxu Pills in the Xuanyang Star System. Song Qingyi surmised it would take between forty to fifty years, during which she would personally retrieve them from the Xuanhu Four Stars region.

Furthermore, a considerable number of God-Transcending cultivators who acquire Xuanxu Pills opt to travel alongside her to Xuanhu Four Stars. This precaution is taken to safeguard such valuable elixirs from potential ambushes during transit.

After all, the Xuanhu Dojo is situated in proximity to the Mystic Palace, and since its collapse, numerous Devil Cultivators have been lying in wait.

Elixirs of the Sixth Rank, such as the Xuanxu Pill, would undoubtedly draw coveted attention if knowledge of their transport were to spread.

Many cultivators, after obtaining these elixirs, choose to rent a Cave Dwelling on Xuanhu Four Stars. Their intent is to directly refine the pills and attempt breakthroughs to the Cultivating Void stage.

Listening to this, Chen Mobai experienced a profound sense of recognition.

Was this not remarkably similar to the Tianhe Realm!

It seemed that upon departing Earth Element Star, he had merely journeyed to a larger iteration of the Tianhe Realm.

The prevailing culture within the Purple Cloud Universe felt somewhat… lacking.

After voicing his internal critique, Chen Mobai finished perusing the listings on the Demon Market Platform, finding nothing else of particular interest.

Just as he prepared to exit the Portal, a newly posted message caught his attention.

[A planet, suspected to be contaminated by demons, has been discovered within the Xuanyang Star System. It is currently under the protection of the Kunpeng True Spirit. Interested parties are invited to send a private message with their offers.]

Chen Mobai was immediately captivated by the mention of “Kunpeng.”

Such a True Spirit possesses the potential to reach the Seventh Rank, a rarity within the Purple Cloud Universe.

It commanded a value comparable to that of the Hundred-Armed Giant.

However, since the Xuanhu Dojo opened, sightings of the Kunpeng True Spirit had been exceedingly few.

It was quite coincidental that this particular one was located in the Xuanyang Star System, under Song Qingyi’s purview.

Could this be the Spiritual Venerable?

The more Chen Mobai considered it, the more plausible the theory became. After all, when the Spiritual Venerable departed with Bai Guang, they were only at the God-Transcending stage, likely operating within the confines of the Xuanyang Star System. Later, Bai Guang attained the Emptiness stage but faced the Death God’s Tribulation, directly confronting the True Body of Death God.

Prior to Bai Guang’s mission to vanquish the Death God, it was logical that they would have dealt with the Spiritual Venerable first.

It was estimated that they were searching for a planet abundant in Spiritual Energy within the Xuanyang Star System.

Perhaps the Death God’s power exceeded initial expectations, leading to an ongoing silence from Bai Guang. Consequently, the Spiritual Venerable might have found themselves confined once more.

These thoughts spurred Chen Mobai to immediately send a private message to the post’s author.

Only after sending the message did he notice it was marked with an exclamation point.

This indicated that he had been blacklisted by the author.

Upon closer examination, he recalled that the author was an intelligence merchant who had previously accused him of disrupting the market.

“Damn, that person is so petty,” Chen Mobai muttered inwardly. He could only proceed by clicking into the post to view the available details. While specifics required further direct communication, the basic overview of the planet was indeed presented.

Chen Mobai observed that the author had described the planet-guarding Kunpeng True Spirit as “suspected Sixth Rank.”

Had the Spiritual Venerable also achieved the Emptiness stage?

Chen Mobai harbored a degree of doubt. Yet, considering the Spiritual Venerable’s profound cultivation accumulation spanning millennia, it was plausible that upon shedding the constraints of Earth Element Star, they could successfully cultivate Emptiness with ample Spiritual Energy.

But if that were the case, surely the Spiritual Venerable would have aided Bai Guang. There seemed to be no logical reason for them to remain isolated within the Xuanyang Star System.

Could it possibly not be the Spiritual Venerable after all?

Chen Mobai's mind was buzzing with thoughts, his urge to have a private discussion with the author to grasp the full picture intensifying. However, even altering his account name proved futile after being blacklisted.

With no other recourse, he decided to seek assistance from Song Qingyi, whom he had just conversed with.

He expressed his profound fascination with the Kunpeng True Spirit, explained his predicament of being blacklisted, and requested her help to communicate on his behalf.

Song Qingyi, being quite direct, promptly furnished him with the detailed information.

[It is a certainty that the Kunpeng possesses the essence of a Sixth Rank. Initially, when the author stumbled upon this planet, they ventured in only to find the location already encased within a Law Domain. The author believed their end was nigh, but unexpectedly, the Kunpeng sustained severe injuries. Through a desperate struggle, the author managed to break free from the Law Domain's grasp and escape.]

A Law Domain!

Then it *must* be the work of a Spiritual Venerable!

But what could have caused its injuries? Could it have been the doing of the Death God?

Following this revelation, Chen Mobai's astonishment and eagerness only grew. A True Spirit capable of mastering a Law Domain was an immeasurable treasure, no less significant than the Three-eyed King possessing the Destruction Magic Eye.

[What was the bid from the intelligence merchant?]

[1 Dao Merit. Should it be discovered that the planet is not demon-contaminated, half the amount will be refunded.]

This particular price was the standard valuation on the Demon Market Platform.

Observing the 1 Dao Merit balance in his account, Chen Mobai bit his lip, on the verge of requesting Song Qingyi's further assistance.

At that precise moment, his phone began to display incoming notifications.

The message was from the Purple Cloud Palace.
