I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 822: Chapter 466 Three Years_2 Chapter 822: Chapter 466 Three Years_2 After all, if the ingredients for these two batches of Foundation Building Pills were given to Back to Sky Valley for refining, there would at least be seven or eight pills as a guaranteed minimum.

Under such circumstances, when Zeng Woyou was preparing to refine the third batch of Foundation Building Pills, the overt and covert pressure began to surge in.

Four out of the Twelve Divisions jointly submitted a petition, asking Chu Zuoshu to rescind his order and prevent Zeng Woyou from continuing to squander the sect’s precious Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms.

Chu Zuoshu also hesitated over this matter.

He had never been on good terms with Zeng Woyou; it was only after Chen Mobai had persuaded him that he had agreed to let Zeng Woyou concoct the Foundation Building Pills.

Now that Zeng Woyou’s concoctions had failed twice, Chu Zuoshu already had an excusable reason to halt the process.

But that would mean that the precious ingredients from the previous two batches had been wasted. If he gave up now, wouldn’t all that precious material be lost?

Although the term “sunk cost” was not a specialized term in the Eastern Wilderness, Chu Zuoshu indisputably harbored that mentality.

And not just him; within the Divine Wood Sect, there were also quite a few who supported Zeng Woyou with this argument.

“Junior Brother Chen, your arrival is timely.”

Chen Mobai had come to visit Chu Zuoshu, who was at that time vexed by this issue.

“Sect Leader, as you know, Minister Zeng has helped me a lot. If you ask me, I would definitely support him,”

Chen Mobai declared his stance right after hearing the situation.

Within the Divine Wood Sect, he and Zeng Woyou were from the same faction.

“Since that’s the case, then let’s give him one last chance. Once may be a mistake, twice could be coincidence, but not three times. Go to the Alchemy Department and tell him that if this batch also fails to be refined properly, he can step down from his position as head of the Alchemy Department.”

Chu Zuoshu still harbored some resentment toward Zeng Woyou for the lack of face given to him back then and decided to use this opportunity to settle the score once and for all.

Chen Mobai had a good relationship with Zeng Woyou, and to avoid his friend from being targeted, he could only make the trip himself.

“Don’t worry, Junior Brother Chen. Actually, I had already succeeded with the second batch. It was just that I didn’t handle the final pill condensation and cleansing step well, and the three Foundation Building Pills I produced became waste pills. Just give me one more chance, and I will definitely produce a proper batch of Foundation Building Pills,”

Zeng Woyou didn’t pay much attention to the possibility of being stripped of his position as head of the Alchemy Department after hearing the messages conveyed by Chen Mobai; after all, he was the Divine Wood Sect’s number one alchemist. Even without an official position, the sect would still rely on him for the production of top-ranked elixirs.

“Oh? May I have a look at those waste pills?”

No sooner had Chen Mobai finished speaking than Yan Jinye immediately handed over a jade box.

As Zeng Woyou’s disciple, she had assisted in concocting the Foundation Building Pills; she was involved in both failed batches.

“Though these are waste pills, the medicinal effects are still intact; it’s just that the toxin levels exceed two or three percent. After consumption, even if one achieves Foundation Establishment, it would probably take more than a decade to expel the poison.”

“However, even as waste pills, if released into the markets outside, there would be Loose Cultivators willing to pay over a thousand Spirit Stones to purchase them,”

“Even within our sect, there have been quite a few of the older former true disciples who, through connections, have come seeking to exchange for these waste pills.”

Zeng Woyou watched as Chen Mobai took out a Foundation Building Pill streaked with gray to examine it and began to defend himself, saying that his alchemy skills were no longer the issue; it was just the finer details of purifying the pill’s toxins that remained.

“I see. If it’s just an issue with the pill toxins, I actually have a good solution,”

Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then considering that once he achieved Core Formation, the Divine Wood Sect would also be his sect and recalling the enormous expenditure the sect had made to concoct the Golden Liquid Jade Pill for him, he decided to share the method of Spiritual Cultivation to strengthen the sect.

Another consideration was his desire to nurture Zeng Woyou.

After all, in the Tianhe Realm, the highest grade of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water available was only Rank-2. After Core Formation, he would no longer be able to rely on it to quickly enhance his Spiritual Power and breakthrough realms. If he wanted to maintain rapid advancement in his cultivation, he would certainly need to start taking elixirs from the Eastern Wilderness.

Even with the Flame Lighting Technique, which could purify pill toxins, there was a limit to what could be purified. Sharing the Spirit Cultivation Method with Zeng Woyou was also for his own sake.

“Let this matter be known only between you two, and do not divulge it to a third party.”

Having traded an alchemy recipe for Yan Jinye’s Longevity Tree Fruit, Chen Mobai felt he owed her, so he had her stay instead of leaving the room as she had intended.

“To think such a method exists… This must be part of the heritage that allowed the Ancient Changsheng Sect to dominate the Tianhe Realm… Don’t worry, Junior Brother Chen. I will swear an oath upon my Dao Heart…”

Upon hearing this, Zeng Woyou was visibly excited. Being an alchemy enthusiast with no hope for Core Formation, he aspired to break through to a Rank-4 alchemist.

With this Spirit Cultivation Method, he felt that the dim path ahead of him had been illuminated with a glimmer of light.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, for the guidance. Such a great favor is difficult to repay. If you have any instructions in the future, just call upon me, and I will respond,”

With her face slightly flushed, Yan Jinye’s eyes sparkled with excitement. After swearing her Dao Heart oath, she seemed eager to try out this Spirit Cultivation Method.

“Junior Brother Chen, as long as I remain head of the Alchemy Department, I will support all your proposals in the sect meetings with my vote, and if you ever wish to concoct any elixir, just command me. As long as I am free, I will prioritize your requests above all else.”
