I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2975: Chapter 1393: Spiritual Venerable Emerges from Seclusion

"From now on, all delivery tasks in the Xuanyang Star System will be handed over to you. Whenever there are packages from this side, I’ll notify you through the Portal. You come to the Void Station on Wenxing to pick up the goods, and you’ll get a 0.1 Dao Merits cut for each order."

Xu Sijiu gave Chen Mobai a simple rundown of the area he’d be responsible for.

The Taixu Express business for the Xuanhu arena is under his charge, but besides the Xuanhu arena, he also handles dozens of arenas in the Northern Territory of the Central arena.

Among these, most arenas are quite remote, and it’s not guaranteed they’ll even need a single delivery in a given year.

Because the Xuanhu arena has a Daoist Monarch, plus resources like the Xuanxu Pill, the number of Cultivating Void cultivators there is relatively high, so Xu Sijiu deliberately left a Clone stationed here.

"Even though each delivery doesn’t earn much Dao Merits, a little adds up to a lot. The Xuanhu arena market still has huge potential."

Xu Sijiu started "selling a dream" to Chen Mobai.

"The packages for the Xuanhu arena should all be concentrated on the Xuanhu Four Stars. The Xuanyang Star System I’m in charge of probably only gets one or two orders every few decades, right?"

Chen Mobai had already expected this. After all, those who can place orders through the Portal are basically Cultivating Void cultivators, occasionally some Divinity Transformation cultivators with backing. Such people are few and far between in the Xuanyang Star System.

Take himself for example—after so many years, he’s only made two large purchases.

Across the entire Xuanyang Star System, forces that actually have Dao Merits are extremely rare.

"Don’t worry, I already took that into account. I’ve also assigned you part of the nearby Mystic Palace region as well."

"There are countless Cultivating Void cultivators hidden in there, and they don’t trust one another. They’d rather spend huge sums of money to buy safe resources through the Portal."

"It’s just that the Mystic Palace is quite dangerous. Even when I go to deliver there, I’ve run into ambushes more than once. The worst time, my incarnation got blasted apart, which resulted in a lost package."

"But relax; for this kind of force majeure loss, as long as you write a statement, the higher-ups will only make you compensate half."

Hearing what Xu Sijiu said, Chen Mobai couldn’t help widening his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"There are actually people who dare rob Taixu Express shipments? Our boss is the Taixu Ancestor!"

Xu Sijiu let out a sigh. "Of course it’s not the customers who placed the orders. They know their limits. It’s just that over in the Mystic Palace, there are many Demon Path cultivators whose brains are scrambled, or who’ve been incited by others. Knowing I’ve got lots of goodies on me, they just can’t resist making a move."

"As long as a lost package isn’t due to internal collusion or doesn’t cause serious negative impact, the Taixu Ancestor won’t intervene. He’ll just have the courier who lost it compensate the Dao Merits according to the Rules."

"So over in the Mystic Palace, there are even cases of people placing orders specifically to target us. If you’re delivering there, it’s best to use a Clone."

If this had been the old Chen Mobai, he definitely wouldn’t have taken on such a dangerous job.

But now he had the Purple Cloud Palace, and in this Universe, there were no restrictions on using this Innate Treasure, even inside the Mystic Palace. So after hearing all that, his expression remained calm.

Besides, if the Immortal Gate wants to grow, with the Xuanhu arena having a "local boss," the best direction to expand into is the Mystic Palace.

He could just piggyback on the delivery runs to scout out the situation in the Mystic Palace.

"If after a thousand years your positive review rate hits 99%, I’ll apply to the higher-ups to hand over the entire Xuanhu arena, and even the Mystic Palace region, to you."

Xu Sijiu seemed very optimistic about Chen Mobai, and finished by painting an even bigger pie.

"Many thanks, Daoist Friend."

Chen Mobai then asked about various trade secrets and taboos in the industry, and Xu Sijiu answered them one by one. Now that he’d joined Taixu Express, if anything came up in the future, they could use the Portal’s built-in private messaging to communicate. There’s no limit to the number of messages, which is a kind of hidden benefit.

"This Daoist Friend shrouded in Mysterious Yellow Immortal Light has limitless prospects ahead."

As he was leaving, Xu Sijiu pointed toward the Spiritual Venerable in the Tianyang Star System who was Refining the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, and spoke with a meaningful tone.

"This Spiritual Venerable is a highly respected senior from Earth Element Star..."

Chen Mobai immediately gave a brief introduction, so Xu Sijiu would know there was such a good personage here. After all, in the future he intended for the Spiritual Venerable to represent Earth Element Star and sit in town over Wangxing. And he definitely wouldn’t be a courier forever; once he’d gotten familiar with the surrounding regions, he’d have to hand off this job. The Spiritual Venerable was quite a suitable candidate.

Right now, there were only the two of them at Cultivating Void in the Immortal Gate. Chen Mobai himself had faster ways to earn Dao Merits.

But in the future, if they move into Star Tugging and Void Training, he could let her shoulder this responsibility.

"A Kunpeng True Spirit, huh? That’s a bit of a late bloomer."

After hearing the Spiritual Venerable’s origin and asking about her age, Xu Sijiu gave such an assessment.

After all, he himself was also an Innate True Spirit, and had reached Cultivating Void before a thousand years of age.

If the Spiritual Venerable hadn’t gone from Acquired back to Innate, showing signs of grasping the Innate Great Dao, Xu Sijiu would probably have judged her aptitude as rather mediocre.

After sending off Xu Sijiu, while the Spiritual Venerable was still in seclusion, Chen Mobai personally took action and one by one merged the four Sixth Rank Spirit Veins in his hands into the Immortal Gate Earth Vein.

Chen Mobai didn’t play favorites. The Kunpeng and Patching Heaven Daoist Academies each got one.

By that logic, the Sixth Rank Water Spirit Vein should have gone to the Jumang Academy. But the moment this was proposed, everyone objected. After all, the Evergreen Ancestor matter hadn’t blown over yet—back then, it was precisely because they loosened the restrictions and let Tao Hua advance to Rank-5 that the opportunity was created.

Beiming even suggested reclaiming the Jumang Academy’s Spirit Vein, leaving them only the most basic Rank-3 Spiritual Energy. That way they could limit the Jumang Academy’s High Rank Cultivators without impacting the students.
