I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1714: Chapter 878: Drawing Lots

In the center of Northern Abyss City, a new elixir shop suddenly appeared.

And it’s a grand three-storefront shop.

It’s worth noting that this is the most expensive area for real estate in Northern Abyss City. Even the Foundation Establishment families have to think twice before considering renting a spot.

Later on, it was discovered that these three storefronts weren’t rented but directly bought, which immediately sparked amazement.

This would require at least a million Spirit Stones!

On this day, the signboard of “Danxia Pavilion” was hanging up, and the shop formally announced its opening.

As it was located on the central square, many cultivators were drawn in, and one by one, guests came to give gifts, opening everyone’s eyes.

Led by E Yun, prominent figures from the Five Elements Sect attended, with several Golden Core cultivators present in person.

Aside from the Five Elements Sect, leading figures from Sky Meal Building, Starry Sky Commerce Guild, Dongwu Commercial Alliance, and other forces outside Eastern Wilderness were present, offering congratulations.

It was at this moment that the spectators learned who owns this shop.

It’s the daoist partner of Immortal Venerate Chen from the Five Elements Sect, Qing Nu True Person.

However, Qing Nu dislikes being in the limelight, so she did not attend.

Since she wasn’t coming, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn’t come either.

Because Qing Nu certainly wouldn’t be staying at the shop for long periods, someone trustworthy was needed as the shopkeeper.

Liu Wenbo was the most suitable, but as he is currently deeply absorbed in cultivation and striving to achieve Core Formation without disgracing the Xiao Nanshan Lineage, Chen Mobai didn’t appoint him as manager of Danxia Pavilion.

Chen Mobai asked Luo Yixuan, but this normally obedient disciple stated that she wants to visit the relics of the Fanhai Sect on the East Barbarians side soon, which she might not be able to handle concurrently.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai remembered that Luo Yixuan was also liaising with Starry Sky Commerce Guild and Five Elements Commerce Association, so he decided not to burden her.

After considering trustworthy people around him, Chen Mobai planned to send Gu Yan, who had been by his side for a long time and who handled affairs meticulously at the Daoist couple ceremony alongside Qing Nu, spoken little, and was favored by Qing Nu.

However, precisely because she was so favored, Qing Nu preferred keeping Gu Yan close since the daoist couple both were used to Gu Yan as their maid.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai was about to recommend Xue Ting when Qing Nu chose someone herself.

She selected Wei Qiurong, the Foundation Establishment Practitioner from Five Elements Sect.

Wei Qiurong was originally the steward elder managing Mount Tianpeng Sub courtyard, and during Qing Nu’s time there, she was in charge, an outstanding Spirit Plant Master, and could handle interpersonal relations with openness and candor.

Another reason was that after Qing Nu left Mount Tianpeng Sub courtyard, Chen Mobai transferred his third-generation disciple Han Zhiling there to replace Wei Qiurong.

Qing Nu was thus using the shopkeeper position at Danxia Pavilion to compensate Wei Qiurong.

As expected, upon losing her cultivation times at the Fourth Grade Spirit Vein land, Wei Qiurong was thrilled upon learning that Qing Nu offered her such a great opportunity.

Full of preparation and ambition, on the first day of opening Danxia Pavilion, Wei Qiurong stocked ten portions of the Foundation Establishment Trithings.

Among those watching the opening, many wealthy individuals were eager to purchase several portions on the spot.

But shortly thereafter, Wei Qiurong posted a purchase notice.

It outlined the requirements for purchasing the Foundation Establishment Trithings.

First, the buyer must be registered as a resident of Northern Abyss City.

Second, each residency is limited to buying one portion every ten years, only usable by cultivators listed under that residency, and trading is prohibited.

Third, due to the limited production of Foundation Establishment Trithings, purchasing requires a lottery system.

The first two points were clear, but the lottery left everyone puzzled.

Subsequently, Wei Qiurong stepped forward to explain what this lottery was.

The main purpose was to consider the Loose Cultivators, whose financial strength naturally can’t match that of Cultivator Families and Sect forces. If purchases were competitive auctions based on Spirit Stones, most of Danxia Pavilion’s Foundation Establishment Trithings wouldn’t end up in Loose Cultivators’ hands.

Therefore, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu deliberated and decided to copy the Immortal Gate’s lottery procedure.

Northern Abyss City residents wanting to purchase Foundation Establishment Trithings could pay a Low-grade Spirit Stone fee to receive a talisman from Danxia Pavilion, which would bear a number. Every month, Danxia Pavilion would stock ten portions of Foundation Establishment Trithings, and then a lottery would be drawn the following month’s first day.

The ones whose numbers are drawn could purchase the Foundation Establishment Trithings at Danxia Pavilion using their talisman numbers.

This policy shocked and delighted many cultivators.

Especially those Loose Cultivators.

They all sincerely prayed and bowed towards the North Abyss Mountain Peak Direction, also feeling grateful to be part of Northern Abyss City.

One month later, more than ten thousand Northern Abyss City residents participated in the first lottery.

And to increase their chances of winning the lottery, many Cultivator Families purchased a lot of new real estate this month, knowing that once the lottery policy was announced, the real estate in Northern Abyss City would only continue to rise.

On the lottery day, Northern Abyss City was deserted.

Danxia Pavilion was already crowded with people; fortunately, the storefront was located right at the central square where many people could stand outside.

Chen Mobai and Qing Nu stood at the mountain top, looking down at the dense crowd of cultivators below. There were almost more of them than on the day of their Daoist couple’s ceremony, which made them sigh with emotion.

Indeed, the only thing that can truly motivate people is when their own interests are at stake.

The Foundation Establishment Trithings, as long as they are purchased, even if they are not needed now, can be passed on to family in the future, it’s certainly a worthwhile investment.

Therefore, almost everyone in Northern Abyss City with some financial means participated in this lottery.

“This place is becoming more and more like an Immortal Gate.”

Qing Nu looked at the mountain below, and as each number appeared, waves of cheers and disappointment rose, prompting her to speak.

“Only in this way can there be rules, and even form the Fruit of Dao’s Rule!”

Chen Mobai made this statement.

Qing Nu showed a puzzled expression; she was unaware of the rules within the Immortal Gate.

For her, Chen Mobai had nothing to hide, telling her everything about the rules and the Fruit of Dao’s Rule.

“There’s actually a Divinity Transformation path like this, no wonder…”

Qing Nu was astonished after hearing this.

It was also at this moment that she understood the significance of the existence of the Immortal Gate.

“Once things here are settled, I also need to return to the Immortal Gate and visit the Heavenly Book Academy to read the Taoist Laws Sure-book. Maybe this will be my path to Divinity Transformation in the Eastern Wilderness in the future.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, he displayed his external incarnation and the Crown of Heaven and Earth.

This was also the first time Qing Nu had seen them.

Before, she thought she had deeply understood every aspect of Chen Mobai over the years, little did she know that after becoming a Daoist couple, she would discover something new every day.

Her man was like an inexhaustible treasure!

Thinking this way, Qing Nu’s gaze towards Chen Mobai became even more entranced.

Down the mountain.

The results of the first lottery were out, seven belonged to loose cultivators, and three to the cultivator families.

This result was long anticipated by E Yun and others, after all, they had the data of all the homeowners who participated in the lottery, and could get a rough estimate by calculating with statistical probability.

Although on the surface cultivator families seemed more powerful than loose cultivators, in reality, except for the Five Elements Sect, loose cultivators occupied nearly eighty percent of the household in Northern Abyss City.

After the lottery was over, E Yun and Wei Qiurong came to report.

Four out of the seven loose cultivators lacked financial resources and couldn’t pay the full price for the Foundation Establishment Trithings. Danxia Pavilion would reserve their qualifications for three years for them, allowing them to pick up the remaining elixirs as long as they gathered enough spirit stones within three years. If they exceeded three years, these additional Foundation Establishment Trithings would be released for lottery again.

This policy was greatly praised by the loose cultivators.

In the following days, concerned about their Foundation Establishment Trithings, these loose cultivators frequently came to Danxia Pavilion, and for any elixir needs, they basically resorted to spending there.

There were also three loose cultivators who had reached the peak of their years, deciding to mortgage their cave dwelling in Northern Abyss City in exchange for spirit stones to purchase the full set of Foundation Establishment Trithings, seizing the opportunity for Foundation Establishment under a stroke of tremendous luck from above.

After all, every cultivator knew that as long as they succeeded in Foundation Establishment, even working for the Five Elements Sect, they could repay these spirit stones cleanly within a decade or so.

The local people’s mentality of wanting to take risks, even Chen Mobai couldn’t change.

The only hope was to educate the next generation well.

“Hmm, well done, continue like this in the future.”

After listening to the report, Chen Mobai said to E Yun and Wei Qiurong.

“Sect Leader, there is one more thing, I’ve discovered that there are already cultivator families trying to exploit loopholes.”

E Yun then shared the information he had gathered. Since these Foundation Establishment Trithings could not be traded, but could be used by cultivators registered under the household, some financially strong cultivator families were trying to make deals with those successful in the lottery, offering spirit stones to have their own family members with Foundation potential transferred or married into those households.

One of the loose cultivators quickly reported this matter to the Five Elements Sect. As a temporary leader, E Yun felt that this loophole might make those cultivator families grow stronger in the future, so he wondered if it could be closed.

“Let it be, if every regulation is set in stone, it will instead lose vitality.”

But Chen Mobai shook his head and indicated that it didn’t need to be managed.

“This… Yes, Sect Leader!”

Despite being trained by Chen Mobai for decades, E Yun still struggled to keep up with his thinking, not understanding the meaning of this sentence, but he nodded obediently.

“What you’re worried about is nothing more than the cultivator families growing strong enough to threaten the sect’s dominance, or even causing higher-level Golden Core cultivators to emerge from a larger number of Foundation Establishment practitioners. But you must know that the act of merging, as long as society exists, will never cease.”

“What we need to do is maintain our own strength. As long as Brother Zhou and I are here, even if ten or a hundred Golden Core Families appear, it will still be our Five Elements Sect dictating the Eastern Wilderness.”

“Moreover, if the sect holds absolute dominance in the Eastern Wilderness, it will quickly become arrogant and even lose the motivation to progress. A bit of external pressure is actually quite beneficial.”

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, E Yun was suddenly enlightened and looked appreciative.
