I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 253 - 238: The Ceremony of Accepting a



“Master, Brother Liu is back.”

At this time, Zhuo Ming called from outside the formation.

Chen Mobai withdrew the Qingyang Fire Seed, and the Purple Fire Sword Light disappeared instantly.

He rubbed his eyes, which were slightly sore and swollen from staring at the flames for a long time, and couldn’t help but sigh that he needed to buy some eye drops.

At the same time, an entrance was opened in the thick fog of the formation that enveloped the peak of Xiao Nanshan.

It was a Rank-2 Cloud Mist Array acquired from the Spirit Plant Division. Besides defense, it could also gather cloud and fog from the sky. When it reached a certain level, it could transform into a Spirit Rain and moisten the earth.

Chen Mobai placed the core of the formation on the peak of Xiao Nanshan, considering he had many secrets, and he couldn’t let his disciple stumble upon some matters.

After the Cloud Mist Array opened, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming entered with respectful expressions.

“Master, as per your expectation, I brought all the spirit plants from the Water Mansion.”

While speaking, Liu Wenbo took out three jade boxes of various sizes from his storage bag.

These are tools used in the Tianhe Realm to preserve spirit plants and medicinal herbs, capable of preserving spiritual energy for the longest time.

Among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal in the Immortal Sect, there is also a specific division for “Jade Masters”, which includes knowledge like jade hunting, jade nurturing, jade cutting, jade carving, jade repairing, etc. This is considered a relatively high-end profession.

However, in the Tianhe Realm, it is simply classified under Artifact Refiners.

Chen Mobai took a look and found that the three jade boxes were prepared with care, and even had some patterns on them.

He first opened the long jade box, inside which were four slender bamboos, all uprooted with their branches and leaves untrimmed, taken out completely. However, the Gold edge bamboo seemed to have been drained of spiritual energy and had wilted.

“Huh, why is this?”

Chen Mobai intended to use this bamboo as a pen shaft, and now in this condition, he didn’t know if it could still be used.

“I beg your pardon, Master. After I plucked the Bamboo Fruit, this Gold edge bamboo wilted. I consulted with my family and learned that to harvest this Bamboo Fruit, the entire bamboo plant’s spiritual energy must be drained for it to mature.”

Chen Mobai didn’t know about this, but he understood that his disciple wouldn’t deceive him on such matters. He nodded his head, accepting his explanation.

Then, he opened the smallest box, and pure Wood Spiritual Energy rushed out. Inside was a smooth and fist-sized, deep green fruit.

This was the Bamboo Fruit.

After Chen Mobai confirmed it, he immediately closed the box to prevent the loss of spiritual energy.

The Bamboo Fruit, which had been nurtured for sixty years to maturity, had reached the high-quality of Rank-2. If it’s sold in the market, it could sell for at least several hundreds of Spirit Stones.

However, he already had a plan for this fruit and didn’t want the Alchemists of the Tianhe Realm to waste it.

In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, his pill was underrated due to the poison in the Longevity Spiritual Power.

So, it’s better to let Alchemists of the Immortal Sect handle it.

Chen Mobai opened the final jade box, which was full of crimson soil and six or seven Jade Bamboo shoots peeping out, wrapped in red soil.

“Wenbo, you’ve worked hard. Take these two bamboos.”

Chen Mobai gave his eldest disciple two Silver-edge Bamboos from the long jade box. The latter refused at first but accepted them after some persuasion.

“Zhuo Ming, take one too.”

The Rank-1 Jade Bamboo was useless to Chen Mobai, but it was a spiritual object for Zhuo Ming. After all, the bamboo leaves could be used as talisman paper, and the bamboo body could be made into a Talisman Pen Shaft.

After thanking their Master, the two disciples were about to leave.

“In two days, I have invited a few friends to officially take you two as disciples.”

“Yes, Master.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming both showed delighted expressions.

Although the three of them had already set their roles, only after the official master-disciple ceremony Chen Mobai would become their support.

From then on, when the two of them acted outside, they could act under his name.

“Hahaha, I have to call you Uncle Master now.”

Qi Rui was the first to arrive on the day of the ceremony.

He was Chen Mobai’s death-defying friend, and even though Chen Mobai is now the first of the true disciples and even a Foundation Establishment Elder, Qi Rui was still carefree and made jokes.

“In a few years, this title will have to change back. This rule isn’t good.”

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Qi Rui showed a face full of happiness. This was him saying that Qi Rui could get the next batch of Foundation Building Pills and successfully complete Foundation Establishment in one attempt.

“This has been the rule since ancient times, and it can’t be changed.”

The two chatted for a while, then Xi Jing Huo arrived, and not just him, but also Qi Hou came.

“Qi Brother, it’s rare to see you.”

Chen Mobai personally welcomed him up the mountain.

Qi Hou squeezed out a smile. After receiving the Foundation Building Pill, he had been in seclusion. Because of the incident in the Divine Tree Secret Realm some time ago, he forced himself into Foundation Establishment but failed.

Seeing Chen Mobai and recalling the young man who used to need his protection when going to Cloud Dream Field for cultivation, Qi Hou couldn’t help but feel a sense of desolation. Now that young man was already a successful Foundation Establishment cultivator, and together with Hong He, was acclaimed as the peerless twin pride of Divine Wood Sect, Qi Hou could only address him as Uncle Master.

“Here, this is our gift.”

Compared to them, Xi Jinghuo, like Qi Rui, casually handed a jade box to Chen Mobai.

South Mountain was rather simple.

Chen Mobai straightly set up the Master-Disciple ceremony outdoors, outside the wooden house.

Cultivators are generally free-spirited and saw no issue in this. Xi Jinghuo and Qi Hou directly sauntered to Qi Rui’s side and sat together, forming a circle.

The next ones to arrive were E Yun, Yuan Chiye, and Yan Jinye.

The first two were Chen Mobai’s buddies, and the latter had taken care of him for a long time at Shenmu Hall. After learning about Chen Mobai’s background, he sought to form a close relationship, and they had grown fond of each other over time.

Their arrival rounded up most of the attendees.

After all, Chen Mobai didn’t know many people in the sect.

Two invitations were also sent to Yue Zutao and Sun Gaochang, but the former, who preferred staying at home, sent a Spirit Talisman through E Yun.

Chen Mobai accepted it with thanks.

After a while, Sun Gaochang also arrived, bringing Lu Jun and Teng Jie.

Once everyone had arrived, Chen Mobai invited Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming to introduce themselves to the crowd.

His two disciples were presentable, an attractive man and woman, receiving compliments from the crowd.

Then came the Master-Disciple ceremony.

There was no such red tape in the Divine Wood Sect. Chen Mobai sat at his designated spot, had the Master-Disciple tea presented by the two, and thus the Master-Disciple relationship was established.

From here on, the three of them will share weal and woe.

“Master, this is the Master-Disciple gift from our Liu family’s Great Elder.”

After Liu Wenbo presented the tea, he gave Chen Mobai a jade box.

Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised by this gesture. Upon inspecting the contents, he found it to be a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, an arm guard covered with scales.

“Please thank the Great Elder for me.”

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai decided to accept the Magic Artifact.

He was aware of the Liu family, who had made a fortune by breeding Azure Blood Carps. Apart from their Great Elder, they also had a Foundation Establishment cultivator under the wings of the Five Elements Sect.

Now, Liu Wenbo was rising rapidly within the Divine Wood Sect and was expected to become a disciple of a core lineage. The resources the family provided were growing accordingly, resulting in a particularly generous Master-Disciple gift.

Rank-2 Magic Artifacts, especially defensive ones, were even more valuable. This arm guard could be worth thousands of Spirit Stones.

“Master, this is my Master-Disciple gift.”

Zhuo Ming might not have a cultivation family supporting her like Liu Wenbo, but she also presented her cherished possession, the most valuable item she had.

A yellowing Taoist book called the “Classic of Materia Medica.”

“You’re kind-hearted.”

Without checking inside, Chen Mobai accepted it with a smile.

He knew about this disciple’s wealth. This Taoist book was her heirloom. Giving it as a gift indicated the sincerity of her intention.

“Hahaha, it seems like I’ve come at just the right time.”

An familiar voice sounded from mid-air as the Master-Disciple ceremony was coming to an end.

Meng Hong descended from the sky, walked over laughing merrily.

“Greetings, Sect Leader.”

“Get up, get up, no need for formalities.”

Meng Hong signaled everyone not to come over and to make themselves comfortable. Then he took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Mobai.

“Here are the things I promised you, and I added a little extra.”

After handing over the items, Meng Hong took out two bottles of elixirs from his pocket and gave them to Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming. Then, without a shred of modesty, he sat down.

“Where’s your wine? Little Yun told me that your brewed wine is unparalleled, just like your swordsmanship.”

At these words, E Yun became a bit embarrassed.

He wasn’t keen on people knowing his nickname.

“Zhuo Ming, open a jar.”

Today, Chen Mobai was naturally not stingy. Zhuo Ming, who also participated in the making of the Jade Bud Spirit Wine last year, distributed each guest a jar of the pleasantly sealed miniature jars of wine.

“The wine will not run short today.”

At these words, Sun Gaochang’s eyes sparkled.

That night, the guests were merry..
