I Have A Cultivation World

“What do you think?”

“Not bad, he reminds me of Brother Zhou. It’s like having an interesting junior brother among the true disciples in the next session.”

Yuan Chiye asked the young girl beside him, receiving an answer he did not expect.

“Brother Zhou? He is the next prospective leader of the Divine Wood Sect, and you’re already rooting for this Chen Guixian.”

“The next leader? He has to reach Foundation Establishment first.”

“Hehe…”

Yuan Chiye couldn’t continue the conversation. He merely laughed it off.

The next day.

The site for the talisman assessment was ready, and all the loose cultivators who passed the first round of the spirit-detecting test came in one after another. Under the guidance of the representatives of the four major families who helped maintain order, they sat down in an orderly manner.

As soon as the tasks of guiding spirits throughout Yun Country were completed, Chen Mobai was accepted and Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in Yun Country would take them to the Divine Wood Sect.

He didn’t even have the leisure to look at those miserable faces.

Fortunately, Zhuo Ming did not need to take part in the talisman examination either.

So the two of them found a place and started discussing matters regarding Lu Shu.

“He also gave me this ‘Understanding Talisman of Divine Wood Sect,’ but before that, I had already received the cultivation book that included the Regeneration Talisman, Consciousness Talisman, and New Life Talisman. When I took it back and compared them, I found the trick.”

As soon as Zhuo Ming opened her mouth, she confirmed that the talisman guide Lu Shu gave Chen Mobai had indeed been tampered with.

“Did you confront Lu Shu about this?”

“I didn’t dare to do that. At that time, I was only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, and he was already in the late stages of Qi Cultivation. I just pretended not to know and thanked him every time he gave me a book.”

“Do you think it’s possible that he was also deceived and actually doesn’t know there’s a problem with this talisman guide?”

“Humph! I originally thought so too, but one day I saw him give a talisman guide that was exactly the same to another loose cultivator setting up a stall. If he was being deceived, would he buy two error-filled books? I thought he was a loose cultivator who loved to help others. It turns out he’s so sneaky.”

Hearing Zhuo Ming say this, Chen Mobai nodded.

If it really was like this, Lu Shu was damaging the ecosystem of the Divine Wood Sect’s recruitment of loose cultivators in this way.

How precious the knowledge of the Tianhe Realm is, he knew that.

Offering incorrect talisman guides for free would undoubtedly damage the future of the Divine Wood Sect in the shortest possible time.

“Does Junior Sister have any idea why Lu Shu would do this, based on your observation?”

“I think he might be from the Five Elements Sect.”

Zhuo Ming’s tone was hesitant, but her expression was firm. After some thought, Chen Mobai felt there was a lot of sense in her words.

Indeed, the Five Elements Sect was the most likely, the most suspicious, and the least afraid of the Divine Wood Sect discovering and retaliating against them.

“Sister, do you think we need to report this to the two true disciples?”

Chen Mobai asked again, Zhuo Ming hesitated, then immediately shook her head.

“It’s best to pretend not to know if we want to survive in the world of immortal cultivation over the long run. It’s better to feign ignorance about certain things.”

This was also why she didn’t tell Chen Mobai about this in the beginning.

Who knows what Lu Shu’s origins are. She didn’t want her resentment towards him to lead to a possible cause for revenge in the future when he possibly hears about it.

“If you’re going to report this to the two true disciples, say it was your own discovery. Don’t involve me.”

Zhuo Ming’s words left Chen Mobai speechless with disbelief. The customs of the Tianhe Realm were truly conservative.

However, he couldn’t criticize Zhuo Ming for it because he himself also acted in the same way.

However, because he had been placed in the spotlight, being hailed as the leader of this session of Yun Country South Creek Divine Wood disciples, he couldn’t possibly keep a low profile anymore.

He may need to show off a bit in the future.

Just as well, he wanted to become a true disciple and compete for Foundation Establishment Pill.

“Since Junior Sister has such sentiment, I naturally won’t expose you.”

When the talisman-making assessment ended, Chen Mobai handed over the Divine Wood Sect talisman guide in his hand to Yuan Chiye. When Yuan Chiye read through it, his eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement.

Being a true disciple and assigned the important task of coming to Yun Country to guide spirits, both his vision and insight are of top choice.

He didn’t need Chen Mobai to point it out, he understood the malicious plot hidden behind this incorrect book.

“No wonder the talisman-making skills of the loose cultivators in this session are a whole grade worse than the previous session. If it wasn’t for the sect leader lowering the expectations, I’m afraid I would’ve eliminated eighty percent of the loose cultivators.”

Yuan Chiye shook his head, his eyes solemn, and asked Chen Mobai seriously: “Who else knows about this matter besides you?”

“I’m not sure about that, since Lu Shu directly gave me this book. Perhaps he also gifted the others in the market the same book, but for the specific details, you’ll have to ask the other loose cultivators.”

There were no discrepancies in Chen Mobai’s words, and Yuan Chiye didn’t notice any ambiguity either. After Yuan Chiye nodded, he put the “Understanding Talisman of Divine Wood Sect” into his bag.

“It just so happens that the mission of guiding spirits here at South Creek Market has ended, and I have to make a trip to visit Uncle Dan’s residence. I’ll report this matter on the way. Before instructions from senior management arrive, act as though this matter never happened. Even if you run into the man who gave you this book, remain ignorant and greet him with a smile.”

“Yes, Brother Yuan.”

The two true disciples, who originally planned to rest for the night, did not delay and left South Creek Market in the night, heading north.

“I have some time now. I should return to the Water Mansion to have a look.”

Chen Mobai had already successfully mastered the method of lifting the Water Thunder Ban Prohibition recorded in Liu Yanpei’s notes. If it wasn’t for the matters of joining the Divine Wood Sect being too important, he would have returned earlier.

Now he had to wait for about half a month, waiting for Yuan Chiye and the others to complete the task of guiding spirits in the other three directions of Yun Country, before he could go to the Giant Tree Ridge.

He could take this time to accomplish something he had been longing to do.

This was a problem that had been troubling him since he arrived in the Tianhe Realm.

What exactly is in those two side halls?

After a night of cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist Body, a spirited Chen Mobai left South Creek Market in high spirits.

“I’ve finally waited for this day!”

The loose cultivator that has been hanging around the market gate saw Chen Mobai’s receding figure and squinted his eyes, then activated a Communication Talisman.

Not long after, another loose cultivator arrived.

“Brother, he’s left.”

“Junior brother, do we really have to do this? He is now a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect. If we kill him, even if we join the Golden Cliff, once it’s exposed, we’re likely to be killed in return.”

“Brother, we could simply rob him of his casting sword ring and not kill him. He’s originally a loose cultivator, he must be someone who knows the ways of the world.”

Ultimately, the temptation of the casting sword ring was too great, or perhaps they had gotten used to the rapid wealth escalation brought about by plundering and couldn’t resist. They gritted their teeth and pursued the direction in which Chen Mobai had left.

Not long after they left, He Qun and his two blood brothers appeared.

They all laughed sinisterly.

The mantis stalks the cicada, oblivious of the oriole behind!

Everything is theirs..
