I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 299

Chapter 299: Chapter 256: Everyone’s Secret Realm Gains_2

“Let’s not wait for him then. As your mentor, this is a rare chance that I come out of seclusion. Tell me about the obstacles you have encountered in your cultivation…”

Chen Mobai shook his head, dismissing all thoughts of his mere seven steps under the Dao Tree from the day before.

After listening to these words, Liu Wenbo respectfully spoke about his doubts when attempting to break through to the ninth level.

Chen Mobai carried the Formless Marionette on him, and had already gone through the process of Liu Wenbo’s Foundation Establishment using an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone the night before, so he was well-prepared for any issues that might arise.

After answering a few questions posed by Liu Wenbo, Chen Mobai took the initiative to ask about issues that were present during the cultivation but he himself had failed to notice.

By the time Zhuo Ming arrived at Xiao Nanshan, she discovered Liu Wenbo drenched in sweat but with an enlightened look on his face, sitting in front of Chen Mobai’s wooden cabin, meditating in seclusion.

“You’re late, Wen Bo has had some revelations under my guidance. He should be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation when he wakes up.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming’s face was instantly filled with envy.

Over the last half year, she had only managed to cultivate up to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation. She had no idea when she would achieve Qi Cultivation Perfection.

However, having grown up in hardship, Zhuo Ming, although envious of Liu Wenbo’s progress, knew the importance of stable and solid cultivation and wasn’t in a rush to break through.

She was very clear that as long as she clung onto her current Master, she could at least secure a Foundation Building Pill in the future.

“Master, this is the account book for the South Mountain Shop. Please take a look.”

Chen Mobai accepted the book offered by Zhuo Ming and skimmed through it. He noticed that the Spirit Rice was selling really well.

In just half a year, all Spirit Rice from the thirty mu of land harvested at Small Yang Ridge the previous year, excluding the portion taken by the Spirit Plant Department, had been completely sold out.

In total, they had earned 150 lower-grade Spirit Stones.

Then he took a look at the sales of Spiritual Wine. Half a year had passed and only eighteen jars had been sold.

“Did I set the price too high?”

After putting down the account book, Chen Mobai asked Zhuo Ming with a hint of confusion.

He had set the price of the Jade Bud Spirit Wine at five lower-grade Spirit Stones per small jar.

Although this price was five times higher than the general market price of one Spirit Stone, his Spiritual Wine was at least ten times better in both taste and mouthfeel.

This certification had been given by people like Sun Gaochang and others, confirming that it was indeed overwhelmingly delicious.

Logically, the price wasn’t expensive.

“Master, most of the disciples in the Divine Wood Sect are like me. Every day, we have to painstakingly scrape together Spirit Stones for cultivation.”

” Even those few who are wealthy are saving Spirit Stones to buy Magic Artifacts or Cultivation Techniques. Why would they be willing to spend Spirit Stones on luxuries?”

“With these five Spirit Stones, wouldn’t it be better to buy a pill that boosts Spiritual Power!”

After spending a few years together, Zhuo Ming knew that Chen Mobai, although slow in some aspects, was easygoing and didn’t put on the airs of a mentor, so she wasn’t as reserved when speaking to him as she had initially been.

“I see, it seems my wine can only cater to the high-end market.”

After hearing her, Chen Mobai completely understood.

He looked at the account book again and found that most of the eighteen jars sold had gone to his good friends, mostly Foundation Establishment elders.

Only cultivators of their standing had sufficient wealth to buy a few jars of Spiritual Wine for the sake of indulgence.

“Although drinking Master’s Spiritual Wine can aid in cultivation, it clearly can’t compare with real elixirs. If we can improve this aspect, our wine may become popular in the lower-class market as well.”

Zhuo Ming held a different opinion and planned to create a new brand of wine that tasted good, aided in cultivation, and perhaps even helped in breaking through realms. This idea was completely different from Chen Mobai’s intention to cater to the high-end market.

What did Qi Practitioners value most? Wasn’t it the advancement of their cultivation realm?

So, elixirs had the highest demand and sold the best.

“Disciple, by that you mean…”

“Master, I was thinking if we could combine the Hundred Herb Elixir or Restoring God Soup with the Spiritual Wine to create a unique new wine that not only tastes good, but also aids in cultivation and even helps to break through realms.”

Chen Mobai, of course, remembered the two formulas in the Classic of Materia Medica that Zhuo Ming had gifted him when she became his disciple.

He had no objections to her idea.

“Do you have a plan?”

“A little bit. We need a trusted Alchemist to help. Otherwise, your wine brewing secret recipe might get leaked.”

Zhuo Ming made a small request.

Before Zhuo Ming became his disciple, Chen Mobai had already involved her in brewing wine.

After she was accepted as his disciple, their relationship grew even closer. To save himself some trouble, he had directly passed on to her the yeast for brewing the wine.

Now, there was no need for Chen Mobai to make the Jade Bud Spirit Wine with his own hands; Zhuo Ming could manage it perfectly well.

In a few years, the flavor of the wine she brews might even surpass his.

“A trustworthy Alchemist? I don’t know of any.”

[There is one in the Immortal Gate.] But there was no way to bring Qing Nu over.

With these thoughts, Chen Mobai shook his head under his disciple’s expectant gaze.

“Aren’t you on good terms with Elder Yan?”

Zhuo Ming reminded Chen Mobai.

Yan Jinye was the Chief Alchemist, and a disciple of Zeng Woyou. In Tianhe Realm, she was considered an outstanding Alchemist.

“We’ve only crossed paths a few times, but we can certainly get in touch. However, she’s a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and probably wouldn’t be able to help you.”

By the end, Chen Mobai thought of this and felt it wasn’t very feasible.
