I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 674: Chapter 413: Red Cherry Blossoms Hold White Snow, Singing of the Yang Pass in the Sound of a Broken Heart (8k)_5

He abstained from voting as a mark of respect for Ma Wuniang.

“Why?”

After the voting ended, the furious Ma Wuniang dashed out and stopped Quan Shanlin in midair to question him.

“This is the intention of Elder Fu, are you going to defy it?”

Quan Shanlin, having been stopped in midair, looked displeased and grumpily responded.

“Impossible, Elder Fu is an eminent person, how could he be concerned about such trivial matters?”

...
Upon hearing this, Ma Wuniang blurted out in disbelief.

“You also know this is a trivial matter, but with the sect’s great battle looming, Chen Mobai, having mastered Sword Sha, is essentially the strongest Foundation Establishment level fighter. In the future, the sect will rely more on him. If this were brought to the attention of the two Elders, they would probably gift him another thousand acres of land, just to keep him happy.”

Quan Shanlin decided to lay out the facts clearly as Ma Wuniang was being obstinate. She was, after all, under his command.

“Even if the kid has mastered Sword Sha…”

Ma Wuniang started to comment dismissively on Sword Sha, but then thought better of it. In the sect, there seemed to be no Foundation Establishment cultivators who would dare to claim a definite victory against Sword Sha.

In recent decades, no one in the Divine Wood Sect had mastered Sword Sha, which had made her forget what this signified.

Invincibility at the Foundation Establishment stage.

“In the Eastern Wilderness, strength is always the ultimate argument. Given Chen Mobai’s talent, it’s not impossible for him to become the sect’s third Core Formation cultivator. Your attitude towards him today was a bit inappropriate. You should find an opportunity to apologize.”

Having said these words, Quan Shanlin flew past Ma Wuniang and headed back to Penalty Evil Hall.

Fu Zongjue’s admiration for Chen Mobai was well-known within their line, which was why Quan Shanlin abstained from voting during the decision-making process within the Council of Three Halls and Twelve Departments.

At that time, Chen Mobai was thanking Zeng Woyou and An Jinghui. If they hadn’t helped, he probably wouldn’t have been able to acquire the five hundred acres of Spiritual Land today.

“Just invite us out for drinks someday.”

After a brief chat, Zeng Woyou and others excused themselves since Chen Mobai still had to discuss the transfer of the land with Meng Hong and the beast department and others.

Before leaving, Chen Mobai also thanked Chu Zuoshu and Luo Xue’er. The two leaders did not say much, they just smiled and nodded.

Elsewhere, Meng Hong was also thanking Cang Qi and Lu Yi.

After concluding all the social niceties, Ma Wuniang returned.

Shi Fengping and others from the Spirit Plant Department, who had been hoping she would take their side and maybe play a double game, were astonished to see her walking up to Chen Mobai and bowing in apology.

“Junior Brother Chen, my initial opposition was due to the heavy resentment from the Spirit beasts that the department disciples had to relocate from those four mountains last year. As the department head, I had to express some disagreement. However, I do agree with your idea in principle because a stronger collective force of sect disciples means a stronger sect.”

Ma Wuniang’s complete change in attitude left Shi Fengping and others agape with disbelief.

Was this the same testing and cold Ma Wuniang they knew?

After Ma Wuniang backed down, the rest of the process was much easier.

In name, the ownerless land of Giant Tree Ridge served as grazing land for the Spirit Beast Department. As long as they agreed, it would be a matter of course for Chen Mobai to take over the few spirit mountains and spiritual lands neighboring Xiao Nanshan.

Deputy Minister Deng Dajin of the Spirit Vein Department sighed, shook his head, and left directly.

This matter was no longer his concern. Next, the Formation Department would need to transplant the two Qingyang Spirit Trees.

However, Chen Mobai proposed a different idea – not to change the formation.

The newly acquired five hundred acres of spiritual land had three spirit mountains. Shan Mountain and Jishan Mountain, which had Qingyang Spirit Trees, were Rank-2 Superior-grade Spirit Veins, but Chen Mobai could use his precise control to reduce the concentration of spiritual energy to Rank-2 Lower-grade while transforming the Spirit Vein into Spirit Fields.
