I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 675 - 414: Hard Work (8k)_1
Chapter 675: Chapter 414: Hard Work (8k)_1
“Sister Ma, how about setting up some formations to restrict the movement of these Spirit Beasts within the mountain? This would also save your Spirit Beasts Department disciples a lot of trouble.”
The words of Chen Mobai delighted Ma Wuniang.
Because Spirit Beasts are very fond of Spirit Plants that are rich in spiritual energy, it’s best not to have Spirit Beasts near when planting Spirit Rice. This would help avoid situations where the stalks are eaten by Spirit Beasts attracted by the spiritual energy before they even ripen.
Setting up formations is a good method indeed, however, it would require help from the Formation Department to create an enclosure.
Easy Shaoqing, who had yet to leave, was unwilling, as setting up such a restrictive formation over a wide area would require much manpower and resources.
“After all, this is originally a task for your Spirit Beasts Department, the materials for the formation should be provided by your department, and the arrangement will be done by my people.”
...
Having already agreed through the vote of the three palaces and twelve departments, Yi Shaoqing obeyed the order of the sect, but still tried to minimize the losses of his own department.
Upon hearing this, Ma Wuniang immediately objected. The responsibility for the formation is on the Formation Department, not the Spirit Beasts Department.
“Then you should just move the Spirit Beasts, saving our Formation Department the trouble.”
Seeing that Yi Shaoqing and Ma Wuniang seemed about to argue, Chen Mobai quickly intervened to mediate, stating that he would provide the materials for the formation. He figured that it was fair since he would benefit from the harvest.
“Since junior brother Chen has said so, I’ll go arrange for manpower.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Shaoqing’s face softened. He didn’t dare linger any longer, fearing that more tasks would fall on their Formation Department.
“Sister Ma, I have a disciple who is practicing the Body Refining Technique and needs a lot of Spirit Beast flesh and blood. I wonder if the task of raising Spirit Beasts on these three Spirit Mountains can be assigned to me.”

Chen Mobai wanted to try the Spirit Beasts of Giant Tree Ridge to see if they would help improve spiritual roots. So, he used Zhuo Ming’s cultivation of the Nine Ren Law Body as an entry point to see if he could take over the husbandry tasks of the Spirit Beasts Department.
“Junior Brother Chen, the tasks of our Spirit Beasts Department are usually taken up by disciples within our department…”
Ma Wuniang was a little hesitant. Raising Spirit Beasts was different from cultivating Spirit Plants. If not handled properly, it could lead to casualties.
For example, the big nest of mountain cats on Shan Mountain, three of which were at the peak of Rank-1, could potentially kill Qi Practitioners.
Although Chen Mobai was the peak Foundation Establishment combatant of the Divine Wood Sect, because this has been the rule for a long time, Ma Wuniang couldn’t break it just for him.
“This is simple, my eldest disciple, Liu Wenbo, is still under your Spirit Beasts Department. Why not let him take on the task in his name?”
Ma Wuniang did not remember having a Liu Wenbo in her department, but given Chen Mobai’s stature, he certainly wouldn’t lie about such a thing. Hearing his suggestion, she decisively agreed.
And with this arrangement, the Spirit Beasts Department would no longer need to be involved in this land transfer.
Now that the land was given and the beast-rearing task transferred to Liu Wenbo, their department was actually relieved of the burden.
The only loss was the income from the Spirit Beasts on the three Spirit Mountains at the end of the year, but that was a drop in the bucket and inconsequential to the Spirit Beasts Department.
Instead, the Formation Department had to be busy because covering the three Spirit Mountains was a large-scale task.
Although it only required Rank-1 materials, due to its large scale, Chen Mobai still had to pay two thousand Spirit Stones as material fees.
“This Green Cloud White Fog Formation can be separated and combined. If in the future, Brother Chen wants to include Xiao Nanshan within it, we just need to add a few array plates.”
Yi Shaoqing, from the Formation Department, was somewhat aware of Chen Mobai’s current position in the Divine Wood Sect. Although he himself was also a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, under the current circumstances, he was still trying his best to give face.
This Green Cloud White Fog Formation included one main formation and two sub formations, which were set up on the three Spirit Mountains given to Chen Mobai.
The most powerful main formation was placed on Shan Mountain in the middle.
Since the mountain cats living here were Demonic Beasts, their combat power was fierce. Ordinary Qi Practitioners weren’t their match.
The beasts on the other two Spirit Mountains were basically common carnivorous animals raised by the Divine Wood Sect.
The power of the sub formations was enough to restrain them.
Chen Mobai and Yi Shaoqing chatted in the air, letting Zhuo Ming and the other disciples who came with the Formation Department to set up the Green Cloud White Fog Formation both assist and learn about its activation and control.
“Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yi.”
Although Yi Shaoqing of the Formation Department was low-key, he was a well-known genius in his youth. He had even studied in regions beyond the Eastern Wilderness, and is universally recognized as the most accomplished of the four Rank-3 Array Masters in the sect.
If it wasn’t for his cultivation level limitation, Yi Shaoqing could set up Rank-4 formations.
“Junior Brother Chen has a bright future. As long as you don’t touch the Mountain Protection Array, I support your actions.”
Yi Shaoqing did not want to feud with Chen Mobai, the peak Foundation Establishment combatant in the sect, so after the decision was made, he immediately mobilized his department’s manpower to cooperate positively and show goodwill.
Chen Mobai had the same idea, otherwise he wouldn’t have willingly paid the Spirit Stones to cover the material costs of the Green Cloud White Fog Formation.
Both men intent on making friends, they soon hit it off.
With that, only the Spirit Plants Department remained in opposition from the original four departments.
