I Have A Cultivation World

“In front of me, there is no need for such caution.”

Chen Mobai glared at her. Luo Yixuan lowered her head a little guiltily, squeezing the hem of her skirt pitifully.

“If Wen Bo advances in his cultivation level, I plan to let him venture outside our sect more often.”

“Zhuo Ming has become increasingly simple-minded over the years in the sect, and managing the sixty-acre Spirit Field along with the South Mountain Shop has been arduous for her. Let’s not add more tasks to her load.”

“Mainly because all of these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the sect are not simple. With your astuteness, you can understand the true meaning behind their words; this puts Master’s mind at ease.”

Upon hearing those words, Luo Yixuan could only nod in agreement. Still, she hesitantly said,

“Master, actually, I can be simple-minded, too.”

In response, Chen Mobai just shook his head.

What he was impressed with was Luo Yixuan not being naive, but astute. If this newly accepted disciple were simple-minded, she would not have made it through the gates of his South Mountain.

“Here we are. The wooden house at the foot of the mountain belongs to Zhuo Ming. You can live there, or you can build your own. I will be at the mountaintop during my meditations, and a Cloud Mist Array will usually seal the mountaintop. If you need me for anything, you can use the Message Talisman.”

While speaking, Chen Mobai, bringing Luo Yixuan along, landed on the peak of South Mountain. He then took out a packet of Message Talismans that he had made himself from his storage bag and gave them to her.

The sect sells these for one Spirit Stone each. However, since he is a Talisman Maker, naturally, he would not allow the sect to profit off him and his disciples.

“Tell me when you run out. By the way, what cultivation technique are you practicing?”

After briefly introducing the situation around South Mountain, Chen Mobai asked Luo Yixuan about her cultivation practice.

After all, as her master now, he needed to be concerned about these matters.

“I’m practicing the Longevity Scripture and the Black Water Technique. Thanks to the Luo family’s Spirit Stones and resources, I have already reached the 9th layer of Qi Cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.

Luo Yixuan was around his age, but her cultivation level was even more robust than Liu Wenbo’s. She was probably not worse off than the top direct disciples. If she didn’t hide her brilliance, she’d likely have become a direct disciple two years ago.

“Water-Wood Techniques…dual-phase techniques, huh…”

After listening to this, Chen Mobai became contemplative. It was similar to Liu Wenbo’s situation, albeit different. If Luo Yixuan continued to cultivate like this based on her Spiritual Root, she might have strayed onto the wrong path.

“Does Master feel something is inappropriate? Do I need to change Cultivation Techniques? I will fully comply with Master’s advice.”

Seeing Chen Mobai like this, Luo Yixuan was quick to guess, and spoke out even before Chen Mobai could open his mouth.

“You girl, you’re too shrewd.”

Chen Mobai shook his head and gave a wry smile. Advising someone to discard a technique that had been diligently cultivated to the 9th layer of Qi Cultivation was hard to bring up, even for a master. But Luo Yixuan understood on her own and saved him from the trouble.

“You’re a True Spirit Root of the Gold, Wood, and Water attributes. The Gold and Wood attributes are just about passable, but your Water Spirit Root is excellent. If you focus on cultivating the Black Water Technique, not only will you achieve more with less effort, but your chances of reaching Foundation Establishment will also be higher.”

“I understand. I will abandon the Longevity Scripture.”

Having heard this, Luo Yixuan nodded, looking obedient.

“Don’t you want to think it over? After all, training the Longevity Scripture to the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation must have cost you a lot of time and resources. Besides, dual-phase techniques are significantly beneficial for Core Formation. If you focus solely on the Black Water Technique, you will face Core Formation on your own.”

Chen Mobai was somehow surprised, advising his new disciple to reconsider her choice.

“Master, I sensed this quite some time back. When I practiced the Black Water Technique, I felt rejuvenated, and the breakthroughs were smooth and straightforward.”

“When cultivating the Longevity Technique, although I can feel myself improving every moment, there’s a certain satisfaction that does not quite match the comfort felt with the Dark Water spiritual power.”

“And the Core Formation stage you mentioned, I’ve never considered it. For me, the greatest hope in this lifetime is merely the Foundation Establishment.”

Chen Mobai sighed after hearing these words from Luo Yixuan, who spoke with such seriousness. At a time when the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm could only dream about such things, his respect for his disciple increased even more.

Despite her obedient nature, she had her own opinions.

Her future was promising!

“If you choose to rotate between wood and water, the Longevity Spiritual Power will devour the Dark Water spiritual power. However, your Spiritual Root is compatible with Dark Water so I advise focusing on the Dark Water Cultivation.”

“Alternatively, you can abandon the Longevity Power and practice a gold attribute cultivation technique, rotating between gold and water.”

“But without the longevity added by the Longevity Technique, Core Formation with the two-phase technique is just a wishful thinking. So, I suggest that you focus on the Dark Water Cultivation which might lead to higher achievements.”

Chen Mobai expressed his thoughts clearly. Listening to his perspective, Luo Yixuan was deeply moved.

In the Tianhe Realm, the master-disciple inheritance has always been dictated by the master, with no explanations required.

The premise here is that the masters’ directives are absolute. The disciples merely have to follow them.

Chen Mobai’s gentle and sincere guidance was a new experience for Luo Yixuan, something she had never encountered growing up.

“Thank you for your guidance, master, I will remove my Longevity Spiritual Power.”

If her previous agreement was merely to please Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan’s current commitment was sincere.

“Mm, having such a well-behaved disciple makes a teacher’s job easier. By the way, with your current cultivation level, you must have consumed quite a lot of concoctions, right?”

Compared to the students in the cultivation schools, Tianhe Realm cultivators are incredibly obedient which made Chen Mobai’s job easier, but also led him to ask the question he was most worried about.

Tianhe Realm cultivators have a tung tunnel vision towards the pursuit of power, often neglecting the importance of overdosing on concoctions. They believe that as their cultivation level increases, the body will naturally metabolize these overdoses.

“Master, I honestly relied heavily on concoctions to achieve my current cultivation level.”

Luo Yixuan honestly admitted. Besides her own talent, her current cultivation level of nine layers also relied heavily on the Spirit Stones and concoctions provided by the Luo family.

“In the future, it would be better if you refrain from consuming concoctions whenever possible. Give me your hand.”

Chen Mobai gave a reminder, but he also knew that consumption of concoctions was inevitable in the Tianhe Realm, thus he did not mandate it.

However, since Luo Yixuan was now his disciple, he planned to give her a small assistance.

Without any hesitation, she extended her right hand immediately, thoughtfully rolling up her thin, palace-style sleeves to expose her arm, fair and gracefully rounded like lotus roots.

Chen Mobai instructed Luo Yixuan to activate the Longevity Technique, and then he used two of his fingers to check her pulse. He placed his fingers accurately on the key points of the Longevity Technique’s circulation.

Luo Yixuan felt a warm energy flowing from Chen Mobai’s fingertips into her Longevity Spiritual Power. The energy began to spread, gently dissolving and transforming her Spiritual Power, just like a slowly burning source of heat.

After a full cycle of the Longevity Technique, she felt an unprecedented pure spiritual force integrating into her Dantian and Qi Sea, and gradually merging with her Dark Water spiritual power. The feeling was one of thorough invigoration as if a great load had been lifted off her.

Back then, when Chen Mobai was converting his Five Elements Cultivation into the Pure Yang Scroll, his mentor gave him the Flame Lighting Technique, which became the initiating spark inside his body.

Not only did this aid Chen Mobai’s technique transformation, but it also helped him refine his spiritual power previously buoyed by conjurations. Although it caused his spiritual capacity to shrink slightly, the resulting Pure Yang spiritual power was extremely pure and solid at its core.

In the end, he even used this technique to achieve Foundation Establishment, receiving the Fire Spirit Body.

Since Luo Yixuan had quite a bit of toxicity from the concoctions in her spiritual power, and also needed to remove her Longevity spiritual power, Chen Mobai decided to try his Flame Lighting Technique. As expected, it worked wonders.
