Aside from the videos, there were over a thousand articles, all bragging that their method of breaking the prohibition is the best.
Chen Mobai set up a filter, first for author level of Nascent Soul.
Instantly, there were only two videos and six articles left.
After reading them carefully, he only felt dizzy.
What the Nascent Soul-level people thought as basic prohibitive techniques were more like reference books to him.
There was no other choice but to search within the level of the authors who were in Qi Cultivation.
But there were just too many, so in the end, he had to start with the ones with the most views first.
Anyway, it would take two to three days for the Green Arrow Talisman to be delivered, so Chen Mobai began to slowly compare the prohibition-breaking methods of all kinds of extraordinary people on the auxiliary cultivation software and picked the ones suitable for himself to read in depth.
For the ones that were too difficult to understand, he would ask Mr. Ding for help. The latter was knowledgeable and talked tirelessly.
By the time he got the talisman and Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai was confident about breaking the prohibition.
In the Water Mansion.
He first used the Array Flag to test, making sure that the power of the Azure Water Array was not connected to the prohibition, then he activated the Green Arrow Talisman to start breaking the prohibition.
The result proved that his preparation was quite thorough.
After being hit with three Green Arrow Talismans, the door of the right side hall shattered. This was caused by the result of the power of the water wave prohibition disappearing and the power of the Green Arrow Talisman not yet exhausted.
Chen Mobai quickly swung the Array Flag in his hand, using the Azure Water Array to capture the fragments of the broken stone door, one by one, and put them in the front hall.
Then, using the Cleaning Technique, he tidied up all the dust.
With the Array Flag in one hand and the Wood Armor Talisman in the other, he walked to the open door.
The hall was small and similar to a study room. Besides a big wooden table of 2 meters by 3 meters, the rest of the walls were lined with bookshelves, filled with scrolls, books, and papers.
Chen Mobai tossed six glass balls inside, rolling them around on every single surface in the hall, to make sure that there were no remnants of the prohibitive power before he stepped inside.
He arrived at the big wooden table which had a stack of white paper on it. There was also a pen holder, which held three brushes of different sizes. As well as an inkstone, its ink had already dried up, indicating that no one had used it in a long time.
There was also a book on the table with two lines of words on the cover.
“Azure Waves Mansion Revenue and Expenditure Records”!
“Year 6425 of the Primordial Era”!
There was also a signature in the lower right corner: Liu Yanpei from the Five Elements Sect.
After Chen Mobai had checked the desk, he looked around and found that most of the books on the bookshelves were account books, some recorded local customs, some introduced spells, alchemy, magic artifacts, formations, he even found “Blackwater Cultivation” among them.
There was a stool under the big wooden table. Chen Mobai went over and sat down.
He then picked up the account books on it to read through.
January, purchased a new batch of 200 Azure Blood Carp seedlings from the Liu Cultivator family, purchased 7 silver edge bamboos and 2 gold edge bamboos from Green Bamboo Ridge, total consumption of 370 Spirit Stones.
February, purchased 200 pounds of bait and 50 bottles of Spiritual Water for bamboo cultivation from Southstream Market, total consumption of 120 Spirit Stones.
March, 300 pounds of fish bait, 2 silver edge bamboos withered, purchased 5 bottles of pest control Spiritual Water, total consumption of 70 Spirit Stones.
April, 400 pounds of bait, 20 bottles of Spiritual Water, total consumption of 80 Spirit Stones.
May,…, 1 gold edge bamboo withered ….
The accounts end in October, with no record of any income throughout.
The accountant seemed to have been preoccupied with something at this point and had left Azure Waves Mansion.
Chen Mobai got up and walked over to the bookshelf, looking for the account book for the previous year, the year 6424 of the Primordial Era. Not just that year’s, but the account books for the next twenty consecutive years were also found on the shelf.
He took ten books and went back to the table to read again from the start.
Only when he turned to three years ago did he finally see some income.
In the eighth month of the year 6423 of the Primordial Era, 50 Azure Blood Crop had grown to lower-grade Rank-1, 30 were provided to the sect, and 20 were sold at Sky Meal Building in Southstream Market, earning 200 Spirit Stones.
In September, 70 lower-grade Rank-1 Azure Blood Crop were sold, earning 700 Spirit Stones.
In October, 20 lower-grade Rank-1 Azure Blood Crop were sold, earning 200 Spirit Stones.
After browsing through ten years of account books, Chen Mobai had reason to suspect that the person who was keeping the accounts might have pocketed quite a bit.
But at this point, he finally found out that the green carp he had eaten was actually called “Azure Blood Carp”. A carp seedling was worth 1 Spirit Stone and after raising it for three years, it could be sold for 10 Spirit Stones.
He looked at other ledger books and finally understood the origin of this Water Mansion.
Named “Azure Waves Mansion”, it was a sub-residence of the Five Elements Sect, a major sect in the Eastern Wilderness. The Azure Cloud Lake where it was located was a Rank-2 Spirit Vein. Every year, farming Azure Blood Carp and cultivating Jade Bamboo could earn some spirit stones.
However, being a major sect in the Eastern Wilderness, the reason they would send disciples here to open up new residences was not to earn Spirit Stones, but to satisfy the appetite of the higher-ups.
This Azure Blood Carp and Jade Bamboo shoots, after being skillfully prepared by a master chef, could be considered as delicious food in this world.
A Gold Core cultivator from the Five Elements Sect had tasted it once and couldn’t forget it. Fortunately, as it happened, Azure Cloud Lake had the conditions suitable for fish farming and bamboo cultivation, so they distributed this long-term task within the sect.
There was a cultivator named Liu Yanpei, who was at the ninth level of Qi cultivation. To accumulate Spirit Stones for exchanging Foundation Building Pills, he accepted this task and stayed in Azure Waves Mansion for twenty years.
He was diligent and every year he would buy fish seedlings, bamboo seeds, and even learned how to be a Beast Tamer to get a chance to present himself in front of the Gold Core cultivator.
After looking at the books about local customs on the bookshelf, Chen Mobai finally understood where he was.
This place was actually no longer Di Yuan Star.
It was a world of cultivation known as “Tianhe”.
No wonder his phone was out of service. He didn’t know how far this “Tianhe Realm” was from Di Yuan Star.
Chen Mobai quickly adapted to the idea of an alternate world, because the highest level of Immortal Gate warfare was to open up a world.
However, such wars were risky and a slight mistake could lead to the destruction of nations, so as soon as he knew he was in another world of cultivation, he decided to be more careful and hide his identity.
But the problem arose again.
How did he end up in this world?
What on earth was that turtle shell?
According to the manual from the brown-robed young man, it was now the year 6478 of the Primordial Era, and the accounts recorded by Liu Yanpei, the disciple of the Five Elements Sect, ended in the year 6425 of the Primordial Era.
Which meant, Liu Yanpei had left this Water Mansion over fifty years ago.
The old man who claimed to be Liu Yanpei’s disciple should have known something, but he was already dead.
As dawn was approaching, Chen Mobai picked two books he hadn’t read from the bookshelf, planning to head home.
That’s when he had a flash of insight.
“Wait a minute, if I’m not on Di Yuan Star anymore, then there’s no need to worry about the Immortal Gate searching for me..”
