I Have A Cultivation World

After using the “Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman”, Chen Mobai did not hesitate. He applied two Godspeed Talismans directly and fled towards the location of the Water Mansion.

Of course, before he left, he did not forget to retrieve the Spirit Stone Bag that he had thrown away.

It had been hard-earned, after all.

While on the run, terrified of being caught by the South Mountain Thieves, Chen Mobai managed to take refuge in the Water Mansion amidst his anxiety.

Having secured the Array Flag of the Azure Water Formation, he felt slightly reassured knowing he could rely on this Rank-2 Formation.

Feeling his Dantian Qi Sea nearly devoid of spiritual power, Chen Mobai, without wasting time, immediately slapped on a Rank-1 Resurrection Talisman onto himself.

He managed to recover his full state in the shortest possible time.

He also held onto his phone, prepared to retreat back to the Immortal Gate at any signs of the enemy breaking the Azure Water Formation.

After anxiously waiting for half a day, he discovered that no enemies had shown up.

This made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he still did not dare to let his guard down. While maintaining the Azure Water Formation at maximum power, he began preparing to decipher the Water Thunder Ban Prohibition on the remaining two side halls.

If the South Mountain Thieves attacked, his plan was to grab whatever was inside the side halls and teleport away immediately.

Chen Mobai had practiced Liu Yanpei’s recorded decryption techniques so often during his half year at the Cinnabarite Institute that they were second nature to him.

However, having never tested them in a real situation, his first attempt to crack the prohibition ended in failure.

But this was mostly due to Chen Mobai’s restlessness and hesitation.

Before his second attempt, he meditated for a quarter of an hour using the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, calming his mind and spiritual power before calmly applying the decryption techniques.

A clear “click” sound resounded in his ears.

Chen Mobai saw the lighting arc that was originally enveloping the side hall doorway flicker and fade until it disappeared completely.

The disappearance of the prohibition seemed to trigger the doorway mechanism, and under his anticipating gaze, the door slowly opened.

A wave of warmth hit him in the face.

Finally, he saw what was inside.

It was a cultivation area designed in a specific way.

Around it was a trench dug to flow clear and bright water – the source of which was unknown.

And surrounded by the trench was a mound of soil, covering an area of about five to six square meters.

The soil was different from what he usually saw; it was actually red. Chen Mobai could feel the warmth emanating from it where he stood by the door.

Within the red soil, four bamboo stalks were planted.

Their bodies looked like green jade, tall and straight, their leaves like swords, leaving golden and silver edges barely visible.

Chen Mobai took a look and saw one gold and three silver; these should be the Gold-Edged and Silver-Edged Jade Bamboos mentioned in Liu Yanpei’s notes.

It was fortunate that this side hall created an environment suitable for the Jade Bamboo to grow. Otherwise, they probably would have all withered after several decades.

Chen Mobai used a coin to test and confirmed that there were no other prohibitions inside before walking in. As he carefully observed the four Jade Bamboos, he also reached out and touched the sole Gold-Edged Jade Bamboo.

He saw that this bamboo seemed to have absorbed most of the spiritual energy over the years and grew the most robustly. Even a flower bud was at the top.

As his hand touched the bamboo, Chen Mobai felt a pure and strong spiritual energy swirling in each node.

He squatted down and brushed through the red soil around the Jade Bamboo, indeed discovering six or seven bamboo shoots.

Liu Yanpei’s main task in the Water Mansion was to cultivate these Jade Bamboo shoots, along with the Azure Blood Carp. They were favorite spiritual ingredients for a certain Gold Core Elder within the Five Elements Sect.

But since Chen Mobai had already eaten all the Azure Blood Carp, he wondered if these bamboo shoots also possessed the ability to enhance spiritual roots?

Without delaying, Chen Mobai used the methods noted in Liu Yanpei’s records to dig up all the emerging Bamboo shoots, and after sealing them with red soil and water, he placed them in a preservative bag he had prepared earlier.

After extracting the bamboo shoots, Chen Mobai stretched out his hand to also pluck all the silver-edged and gold-edged bamboo leaves, stacked them one by one and put them into two other boxes.

As soon as he knew that Liu Yanpei might be cultivating Jade Bamboo in the side hall of the Water Mansion, he began to search for the uses of this spirit plant.

There is a shop in Southstream Market run by Green Bamboo Ridge that specifically sells jade bamboo-related products.

Chen Mobai casually asked around and obtained the information he wanted.

Jade bamboo shoots are a delicacy in the mortal world.

The bamboo leaves can be used as talisman paper, silver-edged bamboo leaves are rank-1 talisman paper, and gold-edged bamboo leaves are rank-2 talisman paper, which can be perfectly used to refine Crimson Flame Sword Talismans.

The bamboo flowers are also a kind of spiritual medicine, but if you wait for the bamboo flowers to yield fruit and turn into bamboo seeds, even if you don’t refine them, consuming them directly can clear your vision and increase your divine sense.

The remaining bamboo poles, bamboo hearts, and bamboo roots also have their uses, but to obtain these, you need to cut them down.

The education he received since childhood in the Immortal Sect taught Chen Mobai not to randomly chop down flowers and plants. Who knows, they might be protecting the Spirit Plant?

Although this place is the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai feels that cutting down these Jade Bamboos is somewhat a waste, at most they can be sold as raw materials.

It’s better to keep them for seed, and you can harvest jade bamboo shoots, bamboo leaves, bamboo flowers, and bamboo seeds every year.

Of course, if the Water Mansion were to be breached, Chen Mobai would definitely toughen up.

But for now, sustainable development is the main priority.

He put the silver-edged and gold-edged bamboo leaves into two separate boxes, then, along with the fresh-keeping bag containing the jade bamboo shoots, stored them in his backpack and exited to open another side hall.

But this hall was completely empty, with only a cushion in the center.

It seemed to be Liu Yanpei’s cultivation room.

After walking in and making a round, confirming there were no hidden compartments, Chen Mobai left a little disappointed.

He returned to Earth, taking the Jade Bamboo Shoots and Bamboo leaves with him.

Then, unable to contain his excitement to showcase his culinary skills, he cut a jade bamboo shoot in half, and after slicing it, fried it in oil with the bacon he brought from Green Mountain Village.

A bowl of sauteed bamboo shoots with meat made Chen Mobai finish a whole pot of cooked Spirit Rice.

Fragrant, tender, crisp, delicious…

He had never eaten such a delicious dish before.

After eating satisfactorily, Chen Mobai did not forget to take out his Spirit-Testing Instruments.

[Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 28, Water 30, Fire 17, Earth 10]

As expected, his Wood Spirit Root increased by 1 point.

It’s unknown whether it will decrease later like the Azure Blood Carp, or if there is a maximum limit.

Even though he was already full, for the sake of comparison, Chen Mobai still directly sliced and ate the remaining half of the Jade Bamboo Shoot raw.

To see if frying it would affect the effects of the Jade Bamboo Shoot.

After eating, he tested it again with the Spirit-Testing Instruments.

Wood 29.

There was no effect.

Chen Mobai waited for another night, and tested it again the next morning, and indeed found that it had dropped.

It went back to Wood 28.

He was a little disappointed, but instantly he had a thought.

It just so happened that his cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body would damage his liver and gallbladder. If the Jade Bamboo Shoot could replenish this in advance.

Is there a possibility….
